Akebono brake pads



Personally, I'll never use anything but ceramics after putting a set on one 
of my cars.
I'm not so sure the brand is even important. (I have a sneaking suspicion 
that most-if-not-all pads are made by one or two manufacturers anyway, and 
packaged for the three dozen retailers we give our money to)

Does anyone have an opinion on Akebono ceramic pads?

I am wearing my Mopar hat this week and doing brakes on a 99 Chrysler
300M and I want a pad that is as dust free as the originals I am
replacing.  They had fabulous wear and performance for about 80K miles
and NO DUST on the rims.  Yes, I read their forum.  No, it was not very
informative.  http://300mclub.org  Proof that every damn car has
fanatics but not like you guys.

Akebono sells ProAct Ultra Premium for this app but also have a line of
EURO Ceramic for Sciroccos and EURO Ultra Premium for Mk4s.  I want to
get those for the TDI so the rear wheels stay cleaner.  Are they clean
and civilized for normal street use?

http://www.thepartsbin.com is where I have been looking at these
offerings but I have never shopped there.
