Akebono Brake Pads
65In my opinion, Akebono Brake pads. are the best full ceramic brake pad on the market. Specifically designed for European veicles, 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. Which means, no more dirty looking wheels
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, and Volvo.

I agree that Akebono pads are great but they're hard to come by from local retailers when I need to get a brake job done quickly. My customers have been pretty happy with the Wagner ThermoQuiet pads I've installed.
BTW, what are your thoughts on Denso Iridium plugs?
