does nobody carry these? Does anybody even offer them?

I know autopartswarehouse has a set of akebono ceramics, but they appear to be the proact, not the Euros.

Im not sure if the difference is noticeable.

Long story short, If I can't find the euros for the rear, should i use the ProActs or just get others like Porterfield R4s?

thanks.
