Akebono Brake Pads are Awesome.
Got about 3,000 miles on the new rotors and Akebono Cermic brake pads now and I'm really loving the lack of brake dust on the wheels. Since installing the Akebono's, my wheels stay cleaner than the car. Literally, there is no black dust AT ALL on the wheels. The real question is, why doesn't the factory install these or something similiar?

On the track I found them to be good, but I don't think we ran more than 10 laps so they were not bad but on longer runs I'd deffinately want to change them out for something a little more aggressive. Bite was consistent and I had very little fade but I think that's due to the rubber hoses heating up. Needless to say I have braided SS lines on the way.

Performance. Good dusty pads brake and feel freaking awesome with fantastic initial bite. Ceramic pads tend to feel kinda spongy and fade easier. I bought some akebono's as well cause the dust is just too much.

Mikey - Deffinetly go for the akebono pads, you've done other mods so far and if you like keeping your car clean, this is one mod you will appreciate all the time. I've now started to use them for my other cars too.

I found the Akebono EUR1121 Ceramic front pads about $50 cheaper on Tirerack.
Is there a big difference between EUR984 and EUR1121.
I dont take my car to the track. I have white tubine-type rims that are always dirty.

I am looking to get the Akebono EURO Ultra Premium Brake Pads to replace my front pads, but unsure as to exactly which model number. I've seen EUR986, EUR984, etc. Which one's fit a 2012 e350 4matic?
Thanks in advance.
