🔵 Akebono EUR683 Euro Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit: Enhanced Performance with Ceramic Technology Review

In my opinion they are as good if not better than BMW pads. They fit perfectly and don't dust like the OEM ones. how long will they last Too early to tell as I just changed the rear wheels on my X3 about a month ago.

Replaced an old set of aging Akebono pads that were making noise when reversing in my BMW 330ci. Installing new pads was easy. A new copper anti-seize paste and dielectric grease was used to lubricate the cam guides. The noise is gone and the brakes work great. Dust exposure is minimal. Highly recommended.

Damn good product for the money. Before that I had a set of ceramics on the back that lasted 100k in hard city traffic (now remember I…

I've been using Akebono pads on one of my BMWs since an enthusiast friend recommended them. They retain excellent brake feel while being much cleaner than BMW pads. Depending on the wheels on your trip, this can save you a lot of time detailing your car. I recently did the front and rear of my 2001 740i Sport (they are for the rear) along with new rotors all around and hubs up front. A note: My front pads came with a high-temp grease pack, but my rear pads didn't. Maybe overlooked the factory…
