Seems like you can't go wrong with these for a good performing street pad with less dust than stock (but more dust than akebono i suspect).
I had Akebono on VW CC several years back. Took them off after 3k miles. One is basically turning BMW brakes into Toyota brakes. Then one might as well buy Camry.
First thing I did on my Toyota SIenna minivan is taking down brakes (OE pads are Akebono) put EBC Greenstuff. But what I found is that EBC is bit too aggressive on rotor. I have now Pagid regular pads, and they actually perform better than EBC Greenstuff.
I have Redstuff on my wife's Tiguan, and I think OEM BMW pads are still better.
