Help: Can find Akebono Pads for '04 S430
It's time to get those dusty stock pads of the S. I preivously had 00' S500 which I replaced the stock brakes with Akebono pads and Zimmermann Rotors. Now I have a '04 S430 and can't find the front Akebono Pads anywhere. I can find the rear but no front. Do anyone know who possibly carry these pads for a '04 S430 non-4matic. Thanks in advance!!!

I have tried all the above and for some reason cant find the Akebono for the front. It's odd that I can find the rear but not the front. Thanks guys. I may have to find an alternate pad with low noise and low brake dust.

Most parts stores including tirerack will tell you Akebono doesn't make fitments for 04 and up. You can find them for the 00 but not the 04. By visual look, they look exactly the same but I'm not sure why they will not gurantee fitment in later years W220. I cant explain it. If you want to take a chance and try the 00 fitment in your 04 the keep us posted. I know the pre 02 had 16 inch wheels standard and 17's and 18's in the later. Maybe the rotors are a tit bigger. Not sure.
