Review on ๐Ÿ”˜ Akebono-EUR1061 Brake Pads by Nick Garrett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pedal softness compared to the original

Your satisfaction depends on the application. This setup is for the E88 BMW 128 where the stock pads offer excellent braking but are possibly the dirtiest and dustiest original pads I have ever encountered. They can be much cleaner, but result in a soft pedal feel even after successful bleeds. I had to swap them out for a set of standard pads a few days later to regain the feel, resulting in the feel the main rider was used to. Same lineup but for the VW Passat B6, feels great and is an improvement over the originals. .

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Big and bulky
