Akebono EUR1098A Euro Ultra-Premium Ceramic Front Disc Brake Pad Kit

The Akebono EUR1098A Euro Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit delivers quiet, clean, and consistent stopping performance purpose-built for European vehicle brake systems. Engineered with Akebono's Advanced Ceramic Technology, these pads are formulated specifically to meet the unique braking demands of European vehicles — providing the confident pedal feel and stopping power that European manufacturers and drivers expect.

Key Features:

• Application-specific ceramic formula engineered to match the braking characteristics and rotor materials used in European vehicle platforms
• Virtually eliminates brake dust — clean wheel formulation keeps wheels looking cleaner far longer than OE semi-metallic or low-metallic pads
• Advanced NVH control — scientifically engineered chamfers and slots reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for ultra-quiet braking
• Precision-fit stainless steel shims included where applicable for additional noise dampening and vibration isolation
• Rotor-friendly formulation extends rotor life and reduces the frequency of rotor replacement
• Scorched friction surface ensures fast, no-hassle break-in with immediate performance from the first stop
• Positive molded construction bonds friction material directly to the backing plate for superior structural integrity and long pad life
• Low-copper ceramic formula compliant with current Washington and California environmental regulations
• 100% asbestos-free construction

Manufactured using the same materials, engineering standards, and advanced technologies found in Akebono's OE ceramic brake pads, the EUR1098A is a direct upgrade over semi-metallic and low-metallic pads.
