lexus400 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Akebonos are GREAT pads but I understand that they're going back to OEM exclusively and will no longer sell aftermarket. My local supply house is selling them at less than half price to get rid of them so I got their last set for my LS - $35 !

mann777 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks for the info, could you let me know do they have online shoppings, because it is a steal for this price of akebono and do they have calipers as well. I have a query will just the pads of akebono enough to fit into the OEM callipers which are on now, or do you have to change the calipers as well.

I have the Akebono Pro Act ceramics pads,they're the superior set, no squealing, no fading, no dust.. well just a little dust, compared to regular semi metallic pads. I bought mine online, I forgot which site, but I just did a Google search, there was no need to change the calipers by the way, but I did get Brembo brakes at the same time, cause the original ones were warped.
