T'was over a year ago now I redid every piece of the braking system on my '83 240D except the master cyl (which is now failing of course) with the cheapest parts Rusty had. I've put about 15,000 miles on them with no significant difficulty...

I believe the Pagid pads have been used for years as the standard replacement pads. What is it that Akebono pads do to be worthy of almost 2X the price? Also, I seem to recall folks mentioning that one has to obtain the correct bearing grease when changing rotors . . . details? TIA. G. M.
