Owners of European vehicles have a passion for performance. They drive their vehicles hard, enjoying handling that depends heavily on good brakes. Unfortunately, good braking performance has often been accompanied by noise, vibration, reduced pad and rotor wear, and unsightly brake dust. Now, thanks to Akebono EURO brake pads, with a ceramic friction formulation specifically designed for European vehicles, owners of these cars can now keep their wheels virtually free from dust and enjoy longer pad and rotor life, while experiencing the quiet, smooth European stopping power they expect.
To provide NVH control (control of noise, vibration, and hardness), scientifically engineered chamfers and slots are included, where applicable. Precision-fit shims are also incorporated into the design to eliminate noise and deliver ultra-quiet braking performance. Each pad contains about 20 raw materials per formulation to handle a broad range of conditions. The innovative Ceramic Technology produces high resistance to fade and virtually eliminate dusting. You will experience more consistent and smooth braking power over a variety of driving conditions, including panic stops. Designed to fit with precision, EURO Ultra-Premium brake pads are remarkably sensitive to every unique wheel architecture. This ensures rotor compatibility resulting in longer rotor life.
