I had the Akebono Euro Ceramics on the E46 for about 2k miles, removed them and installed Cool Carbon.

The Akebono needed a heavy foot, had poor modulation, and started fading after 6 or 7 hard stops from 90mph back to back at 95deg F (on the E46). Had squeaks/squeals too!

The Cool Carbons had zero fade in 12 back to back stops from 90mph at 95deg F.
