    Default Akebono Euro Ceramic Pads?

    I'm trying to locate the part no. for Akebono Euro Ceramic Pads to suit my E34 535i.
    I've managed to come up EUR394 & EUR396 but am not sure if these numbers are correct.

    Also where's the place in the U.S. to purchase these from?
    I was thinking maybe TireRack? - TIA

    Why not some Australian pads like Bendix?

    Default I got mine from TireRack...

    and love 'em. Had PBR Metal Masters on before, would say they're just as good, if not better, but no, like really really little, and light dust.... the Metal Masters were low dust, but these are better, and bite just as hard...

    now never had the hawks or other stuff that's supposed to bite, but can just say they're on par w/the metal masters.... got mine from tire rack w/no issues....

    I think I got mine from AutoPartsWarehouse.... I don't think BMA had them at the time. I would check both places though.
