Rear brake pad recommendation

I tried finding Akebono rear brake pads but they don't seem to make them for the rear
Is this correct?
2015 ML400

Would someone suggest a high quality rear brake pad replacement?

Thanks

sames MB part number as ML350 for the front = EUR1629

the ML350 has two part numbers for the rear EUR1630 for rear vented rotor and eur1630a solid rotor

I am guessing the ML400 has sport / vented rotors on the rear and uses the EUR1630

But now I am confused is my ML350 sport or not?

Packrat - Thanks for the Akebono reference!
I found them here for my ML400:

https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/417...-Rear-EUR1630/

Interestingly - I could not find them anywhere else as fitting my ML400 rear! Advance Auto parts shows them not fitting my car. Only Europarts website showed they would fit.
I'll compare pictures to the brake pads I have now for comparison. Should be fine.

I am surprised that my rear brakes are wearing much faster than my front pads .... The rears are very close to setting off the sensor where my front pads have plenty of pad material left before triggering the sensor.
It's probably a design issue as the front pads are much bigger.
