Akebono pads..
Anyone know if Akebono makes front pads for C350? I've checked a lot of places and only see the rear.. If anyone got any suggestions, it would be really appreciated. My rears are shot, but might as well change the fronts also while i do the rear.. Thanks.

I suggest calling Tire Rack on the phone to ask. I see the size from my C300 don't fit the C350, per the fitment chart. When my son wanted Akebono for his Saab, only the rears were listed on tirerack.com, but when we called, they had the fronts, but had not listed them online.

if Akebono make the front pad for the 300 then I am sure it will fit the 350. I don't see any difference in the brake design. again, always call the rep to ask first.

This made me a bit curious, so I went to the Akebono on line catalog, and sure enough, the C350 does have a unique front pad, EUR 1342. Akebono lists it as a new part with availability to be announced. So, at least you know the part number to keep searching. Good luck...they will be worth the wait!
