BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
Akebono is the first brake pad manufacturer to produce a true ceramic pad for European vehicles that delivers the same European pedal feel and stopping power as the Original Equipment (OE) pads. Akebono's exclusive clean wheel formulations help to eliminate the heavy brake dust issues normally associated with the OE pads, too, and a definitive control of noise, vibration and harshness is felt.
One hundred percent asbestos-free, the pads' Advanced Ceramic Technology helps to extend rotor life resulting in fewer rotor replacements (and additional dollars saved).
Akebono Euro pads are approved for use by Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen.
Akebono es la primera fabrica en producir pastillas de freno de cerámica para vehículos europeos, que ofrecen la misma sensación del frenado europeo y el poder de frenado, ofrecido por las pastillas originales (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés). La fórmula de limpieza exclusiva de Akebono ayuda a eliminar el polvo de freno comúnmente asociado a las pastillas O.E., además ayuda a controlar el ruido, la vibración y la aspereza. Son construidas cien por ciento sin asbesto y la tecnología de “Cerámica Avanzada” ayuda a extender la vida del disco de freno, lo cual ahorra tiempo y dinero.
Las pastillas Akebono Euro Ceramic han sido aprobadas para su uso en vehículos Audi, Mercedes-Benz y Volkswagen.

Super clean and very low dust compared to stock pads, but the overall bite feels about 10% less than the stock pads, especially when cold. They squeal when the car is backing up which the neighbors probably dont appreciate when leaving for work early in the AM and here is usually one squeak or two from the first stop in the AM.
They are a trade off over the braking performance to get super clean wheels and most daily drivers wont even notice the bite, but will like the clean wheels.

As advertised. Zero noise, little dust, braking on par with OEM . This car is not driven hard. Wear appears to be better than OEM.

The performance is as expected with for a ceramic. Quiet and not much bite. The problem I ran into is the OEM Mini Cooper brake sensor does not fit the pad as the metal in that area is way too thick to accept the slotted OEM sensor. Not a show stopper but now I have a dummy sensor zip tied safely out of the way instead of waiting to light up a dummy light.
