same pad

Front pad is the same in Aero and LPT. The difference is that the rotors are bigger on Aero, and so pads are mounted further away from the center on wider caliper carriers (i believe calipers are also the same). But they both use the same pad.
That said, I have exactly the same experience as Herb. I put Brembo slotted with Akebonos last year on all 4 wheels. They look like I did the job yesterday. I also believe that proper bedding plays an important role in long brake life (coat rotors with some pad residue, heat them up new to relieve any manufacturing tensions in the cast metal). Highly recommend!
