I think those pads are a scam. They're so hard they seem to wear the rotors just as fast as the pads! It's a double plus for them- they sell you some cheap pads and offer a lifetime warranty, and you come back a year later and buy a whole new set of rotors from them! You're guaranteed to buy

Look I know Rusty is a good bloke and does alright by the list members but we are not going to know if the Akebone pads are worth the money if people don't try them. Brake dust is one of the few things I don't like about my MB's and if I can reduce it I will happily pay a bit extra. Especially

That is why early in this thread, I said, if you want Akebono, search for Akebono on you tube. If you want brake pads, just call the Rusty man, aka Q as in Bond, James Bond. Q has or makes all the neat toys. Whatever you want or need, Q has the answer. SO, quit whining about where to buy
