Getting close to end of life on my second set of Brembo pads and ready to make the plunge into dust free brakes!

I have heard good things of both Akebono & EBC but the Akebonos are a LOT cheaper than EBC. Not that I am being stingy, but I suspect there is not that much of a difference. IF there is, someone please point it out.

My two questions are, searching multiple databases is yielding different Akebono part numbers which leaves me wondering what are the correct ones.

Front EUR938

Rear EUR592 or EUR1095

Hopefully someone who has used them can shed some light as to the correct ones to use.

And my second question is, are there any special techniques or tools required to changed the pads on Brembo Calipers?

 

Akebonos are better than EBC thats for sure, anyway EUR1095 is the rear pads, and EUR938 is for the front, don't worry I've bought those and installed on my friends Super V8, I got akebonos on my XJ as well. Also I don't own or make money when you shop at amazon.com but they have those pads listed and fairly priced backup with manufacturers warranty and their 30 day return policy,

Front Pads: Amazon.com: Akebono EUR938 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set: Automotive

Rear Pads: Amazon.com: Akebono EUR1095 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set: Automotive

I hope this helps.

 

Rock Auto has both of those pads too.

 

EUR592 won't fit the Super V8, EUR1095 is the one for Super V8
