    Are AKEBONO Pads still available ?

    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 ?
    Cheers .........

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

    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
    Just a moment...
