Review on 🔵 Akebono Grey EUR1322 Front Brake Pad by Steven Wood

Would you like to upgrade to 3.5 years? Of course you do! I've put over 40,000 miles on these pads (but again, with Houston accounting for a lot of those miles), and they're just starting to warn me of "grinding." So of course I came back to find out more. Yes! I can love my Audi A4 in winter! My OEM was one of those years where temperatures dropped below 42 degrees due to ridiculous screeching. I mean, if you haven't heard what these OEMs are capable of, you wouldn't believe it. Slow stops, hard stops, it didn't matter and I was embarrassed as hell that my absolutely amazing car sounded like that. I came across an Audi message board talking about this issue and someone mentioned that these Akebono are quiet and have comparable brakes so thought I'd give it a try. SO HAPPY. They feel a little softer than the original pads but are still of excellent quality. I am very satisfied with the performance and the price. ETA: Husband said installation was quick and as another reviewer pointed out, we were happy the sensor came with pads. ETA2: After a recent trip to Houston, which is known for its incredible traffic (and crazy drivers), I take back the "little softer" comment, or at least I have to say that these brake pads are absolutely AMAZING in stop-and-go are traffic. Houston is basically "go through 90 again/STOP/go through 90!" and I had no problem with that.
