Mercedes E55 AMG Akebono brakes on sale!

I have these brake pads on my E55 - they're not 'track pads' but my car is a daily driver - and the stopping power is just as good as OEM but the brake dust is nearly GONE! It's so much nicer not having all the brake dust on the wheels any more!! :) It will save you at least 10 minutes per car wash ;)

Akebono EUR983 and EUR984 Ceramic Brake Pads - less dust, less washing - same stopping!

If there's one thing that drives me nutz about my car it's the brake dust! When I purchased the car, the previous owner had OEM Mercedes-Benz pads installed; which is good for serviceability and was an easy one-stop-shop solution - but dang they're dusty!

Several of my friends have pointed me to Akebono pads - which I believe are OEM for Honda (and some other automakers) - they're very low dust! It's crazy to say, but I can't wait to replace my OEM pads for some of these... Not bad pricing for these high-performance Brembo AMG brakes!
