2007-09 XK Akebono Brakes
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to give all you 07-09 XK owners a heads up. As you may know, Akebono currently does not make front pads for our XK's (currently they only have fronts for the XKR's). Well, I just received an email confirmation from Akebono that they are releasing the front pads for the 07-09 XK's in the early part of the new year. This is fantastic news for XK owners who want to put on Akebono's all around. The new part number for the front pads will be EUR1241. The rears (currently available) are part number EUR1095.

I wonder. Does any body put out objective testing info on brake pads, Akebono & otherwise, like the big tire companies do?
I put Advance Auto ceramic pads (made by Federal Mogul and GRI) on my 07 XK car a year or so back. Results were perfectly satisfactory for me and the price was more than reasonable. What am I missing here? Is there any objective data?
Please. No subjective testimonials. We have plenty of that through out the Forum.

yes but like someone said if it is to change the rotors after he does not worth it, i will go for the dust, i rather ease my mind and stick to the cheaper. But i really go for the dust ....damn....i m tired at updating things changing buying plastic junk on ebay etc...i am very glad at the door defender, i used it, people are triggered in parkings but no steal, nothing bad happened, and it reassured me a lot when parking.
