Review on Akebono-EUR1341 Grey Brake Pad Set: Superior Performance and Reliability by Daniel Bulkley

These Akebono pads were the best pads I have used on my Mercedes W204. They're quiet, they pack a pretty good bite even when it's chilly (I live in Southern California so it's almost never "cold" here), they don't hit the rotors too hard, and are probably the No. The #1 reason many European drivers choose Akebono pads is that the brake dust they produce is a lighter color than traditional brake pads, but doesn't stick to the wheels as strongly, so you don't spend all that extra time cleaning or brushing must. Your wheels so they wash just as clean as the rest of your car. These pads also come with 2 pad wear sensors (although only one is required for the rear).
