Review on Akebono EUR1375 Disc Brake Pad Kit: Unmatched Performance and Durability for Superior Braking by Eric Rios

These pads have been quiet and reliable for the most part, but there is one major issue with them that is driving me nuts. They make a pretty loud noise in either direction when you first brake. When you put it in reverse and slow down. CLANNNK. Then forward and brake. KLANKK. Reverse and brake again. CLANNNK. This is an extremely annoying loud metallic tinkle that just comes from poor design and the wrong size of the ear. This will be my first and last sentence from Akebono unless they fix this issue.
