Ceramic brake pads are one of the newest innovations in the automotive aftermarket. With decades of development for motor-sport, ceramic braking components have been tested and abused. Akebono brings this technology to your car with a set of Euro Ceramic brake pads.

The benefits of ceramic brake components are vastly superior to the traditional metal compound pad. Because ceramic does not absorb heat as rapidly, heavy braking in hot conditions will keep your brakes from fading. With a much higher co-efficient of friction, stopping distances are reduced and stopping power is increased. Also, because of their lower metal content, brake dust is all but eliminated. All of this comes with the added benefit of drastically increased brake rotor life.

Consider making an upgrade the next time you have a brake job to perform with a set of Euro Ceramic Brakes from Akebono.

If it’s time to replace your pads, it is also a good idea replace your rotors to get maximum braking performance and longer life out of your brakes. Replacing just one component can result in problems down the road.

This Product is Genuine Mercedes Benz.

The brake rotors on your Mercedes-Benz have one of the most difficult jobs in the braking system, and that job is to be the contact surface for the brake pads to stop the car.

The brake rotors are secured to the wheel hubs in your vehicle, and spin at the same speed as the wheels. When you depress the brake pedal, the calipers apply pressure to the brake pads, squeezing them against the rotors, and stopping the car.

In this process, the brake rotors get extremely hot, and will eventually begin to glaze over due to this extreme heat, drastically reducing braking performance. The rotors will also wear down due to the friction of the brake pads, and can even warp due to the extreme heat and friction. If your rotors warp, it will cause a vibration in your vehicle under braking.

No matter the reason, if your rotors show any of these symptoms they need to be replaced to keep the braking system working at its best, and the best time to replace brake rotors is when you are replacing brake pads.
