Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Akebono EUR853 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set: High Performance Brake Pads for Enhanced Stopping Power by Derrick Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for 2001 CLK 430 Front

Replaced the original kit that came with the car after 93,000 miles. This kit is similar to the one I installed on the rear axle a few months ago. I have Akebono kits on a van with over 60,000 miles and since there were no problems I decided to install the same brand on my car. I've just run 100 miles with this set and still can't tell any significant difference in slope from the original set. No squeaks, no flapping. It's cold outside at this time of year and in the mornings I don't feel like the brakes need to be warmed up to work properly. The deadly power is compatible with the original. Smooth over the entire range of pressure applied to the pedal. Doesn't bite or fade unexpectedly. Less dust on the wheels. This kit is not dust free, but the dust is less visible compared to the OEM kit. Replaced by Centric Front Brake Disc 125.35058 ===== Rear Brakes Replaced earlier this year: Centric 125.35034 Rear Brake Disc Akebono EUR873 EURO Ultra Premium Ceramic Rear Brake Pad Set for Mercedes-Benz C-Class, CLK-Class, E-Class, R-Class , SL Class 1997-2009
