Akebono EURO Ultra-Premium Brake Pads

EURO Ultra-Premium brake pads provide the ideal vehicle control and response performance intended by the manufacturers of European makes.

The Akebono EURO Ultra-Premium brake pad line addresses performance specific requirements of European makes, providing vehicle control and response as the vehicle manufacturer had intended. These brake pads are formulated and fit with a precision that is remarkable sensitive to every application. This provides superb function and rotor compatibility, resulting in longer rotor life.

The use of highly advanced ceramic brake pad technology allows Akebono’s “EURO” pad line to provide excellent stopping power while extending rotor life and virtually eliminating brake dust.

• Increased stopping power in critical braking situations
• Improved pad wear performance over conventional disc pads
• Reduced rotor wear by as much as 80 percent
• Unrivaled in initial effectiveness with no break-in required
• Ultra-quiet, positive, smooth braking performance
• High resistance to fade with fast recovery
• More consistent pedal feel
• Rotor-friendly pad formulations
• Enhanced durability and life
• Low dusting and precision fit

Akebono’s Aftermarket disc pads contain the same materials, engineering, quality standards, and advanced technologies used to create their OE ceramic brake pads.

Warranty Information: 12 month - 12,000 mile limited warranty.
