SL 55 AKebono pads EUR 983 problem?
I just got a set of these pads EUR 983 on ebay, and to my surprise when I opened the box the pads were not beveled?
All the pictures I see of other peoples show they are beveled. could someone that has messed their brakes recently please give me some insight. Thanks

Beveled just means the sides are not perpendicular to the face of the pad,but ground down on the leading and trailing edge of the brake pad.
My pads have a sharp 90 degree angle all the way around them.
While all of the pics I have seen on the net show the leading and trailing edge having a pretty extreme angle. this should help with bedding and keep the noise down.

If they fit, then you can always bevel them yourself? A simple grinder will do. Just make sure you do it outside and wear a mask...
