Review on Akebono EUR946 Ultra Premium Ceramic Brake by Christopher Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quieter, smoother and much cleaner

Used on my wife's BMW X3. I did feel the pedal feel was a bit lacking, but my wife didn't think so. I think the slightly softer feel was better than the factory which had a race car feel (too sensitive AND too much dust). I wish I had replaced them a few years ago before the pads really needed replacing. Again a better pedaling feel, quieter braking and annoying dust is gone (factory pads made the wheels dirty in 1 week and are difficult to clean). The only negative comment is the fit of the pad sensor, but this may be more related to the sensor (uses the originals). The sensors didn't separate easily from the old pads and didn't stick to the new pads, so I used a quick drying epoxy to attach them. Great price through Revain. If you have brakes messing with your wheels, don't wait any longer, just buy them (quieter, smoother, cleaner).

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Slightly torn
