I tend to brake hard, and did a lot of stop and go last year from my former job (hence the miles), but now thankfully live much closer to my new job. I really liked the performance aspect of the Ake's, so I'm sticking with 'em. :)
When it's time to replace mine, I also plan to stay with the Akebono pads. I like that they are quiet and low dust, but also have good braking performance. It's rare to find pads that do all these things well.

Apparently, the Euro pads are better than the ProACT pads. I wonder what the OE pads are.

No idea on the OE. I always replace brake pads on my sport bikes with EBC HH pads from my racing days, as I like the stopping power, so I figured to stick with the Ake's and I have no complaints other than a shorter life, which I can live with.
