Best pads for Akebono setup?

[KongzTT M45]

Anyone know of anyone making relocation brackets to use a larger rotor than the stock 14"?

I have 22's on my M45.. and wouldn't mind the wheel being a little more filled up than it is now.. Plus I'd be able to ditch the 5mm spacers I had to use to clear the Akebono caliper.. because my wheel design flares out from the hub area where it touches the caliper without a spacer

Just curious if there is anything out there..

Thanks!

My main concern is low dust! and quiet pads..

I got the Centric posi-quiet semi-metallic up front and ceramic in the rear..

From my understanding .. these were low dust pads.. I just installed them and have less than 50 miles on them with my new akebono 4 wheel, stoptech drilled/slotted rotors. Its either the pads/rotors breaking (after proper bedding procedure etc) or its juust how the pads are in terms of dust.. there is quite a bit more than whatever pads I had on my stock brake setup (not sure what the previous owner put on there)

I am not very impressed with the bite and grab from these pads either.. but I believe I still have a little air in my lines.. so it could be that..

What do you guys recommend? I want very low dust pad that is quiet!

I searched on other forums and it looks that Akebono ACT pads are very dust free.

Thanks!

Well to follow up..

I think I jumped the gun a bit :/

I re-bled the brakes.. and I guess from driving it around about 60 miles or so.. the dust is much less and the braking/bite is much much better!

These brakes are super smooth too!

I just gotta figure out what i'm doing about this caliper and how it doesn't clear my wheel without a 4mm spacer.. I refuse to run any spacer long term.. the wheel is so close to hitting fender when I turn!

Anyway.. Very happy with the performance of these brakes and stoptech rotors, centric pads so far!

Thanks for the responses guys!

Why 15" rotors? The stock 14" which come with the Akebono's should be fine.

I'm running Pmu front pads and rear Hawk HPS. Seems to do pretty good. Granted, I ate some rear Hawk pad while hitting the Dragon this past weekend:
