Are AKEBONO Pads still available ?

[BMKal]

Looking to replace all brake pads (and rotors) on my 2011 D4 2.7 tdv6.
I'm having trouble finding suppliers of Akebono EUR1098 and EUR1099 pads who still carry them in stock.
Does anybody know of a reliable supplier who still carries these in stock ?

I remember Pedders ceramic pads are the same thing, just repackaged.

Edited: sorry Rod.

Pedders ceramic pads in rod are the same thing, just repackaged.

In rod????

I did wonder and figured Rod would be pretty unhappy about that.

Rod loves the feeling of ceramic up there

I buy mine from Rock Auto in the USA.
Low prices and very fast delivery.

Try DBA Green pads. They’re easily as good.

Lube the spots where the pad ends sit in the thin metal insert, with some brake lubricant. Also pad backing. I have had similar issues before. Sorts it out.

Something like this
