i just got Akebono Euro for my BMW 525 I'll report back after I install them next week. BTW I only got them for the claimed dustless benefits..

I'm ordering a set for my car, having read the few reports at Tire Rack. Very positive, enough to make me try these instead of the Rotex Gold I was going to buy. Will repost after a few thousand miles.

i just put on a full set 2 weeks ago along with new rotors. so far, they are great. there are a couple of spec but still unsure if its from the pads but so far so good. the rims look good from 2 weeks of not being washed compared to using the oem pads. fyi, i have bunzondubz old rims so it has the big lip so it was real noticable when the brake dust would gather on the spokes and lip. in fact, i just put on a set for my volvo since it is working out so good. plus no noise.

Installed my new AKEBONOS on the front along with OEM drilled rotors, prob will do the rears today if I get a little ambition. After one week, approx 250 miles, so far they are great. No noticeable noise level, no dust to this point, and the pedal feel is excellent. Although, I'm sure fresh rotors had a great deal to do with the braking action since the originals were ready to junk. Very short time to evaluate a product, but so far they've been everything advertised. Oh yeah, my closest Tire Rack was out of the front pads, advised approx two week wait, I said OK. Both sets arrived four days later. Hear a lot of people ***** about poor service from suppliers, I have NEVER had a bad experience from Tire Rack. I do use them as a tire supplier for my company as well as personally, same great service.

Just put them on a month ago on a 01 s500 sport. Great pads, no dust!!! That is worth the $100 for the pads. Got from tirerack. Also got new Zimmerman rotors and they are great as well. Go ceramic if you don't wash your wheels every 3 days!
