2008 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Brake Pads and Shoes

Akebono EURO® Ultra-Premium ceramic brake pads provide exactly the ideal vehicle control and performance response intended by the manufacturers of European makes. Maintain the enhanced pedal feel of European braking performance with brake pads and friction formulas engineered specifically for your vehicle and manufactured in the USA. Brake Pads That Ensure Optimal Responsiveness and Cleaner Wheels European car owners across North America now have a brake pad solution that will keep their wheels virtually free from dust and provide the European stopping power they expect. The use of our exclusive, highly advanced ceramic brake pad technology means that Akebono’s EURO Ultra-Premium brake pads provide excellent stopping power while extending rotor life and virtually eliminating brake dust, so the wheels on your European vehicle will remain their cleanest. In addition, Akebono EURO Ultra-Premium ceramic brake pads control noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) and help ensure longer rotor life. They are the ultimate upgrade for semi-metallic and low-metallic brake pads. Akebono: The Industry Standard for European Manufacturers For over two decades, Akebono Ceramic Technology® (ACT) has been standard on many of North America’s passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs and has set the benchmark for ceramic pads used in OE vehicle production. Now European manufacturers request Akebono brake products, and we can deliver that level of reliability to your replacement brake pads. Akebono manufactures replacement disc pads that contain the same materials, engineering, quality standards, and advanced technologies used to create our original ceramic brake pads. The use of Akebono ceramic brake pads ensures customer satisfaction and eliminates unnecessary return visits to the shop.

Dual Technology Ceramic (DTC) – Low Noise – Low Dust WBR ceramic brake pads are specially formulated for driving conditions that require superior friction effectiveness without compromising low noise or low dust characteristics. The advanced ceramic formulation mitigates wheel dust, brake fade, low speed and high heat squeal, at the same time providing positive pedal feel and long-life. Every WBR ceramic brake pad comes with a platform specific shim and has a burnished contact surface (scorched) just like OEM pads to ensure easy break-in and proper long-term functionality. Advanced Material Platform Specific Brake Pad Shims: To effectively combat brake squeal, WBR utilizes different advanced materials in the shim construction, as well as fastening the shim to the pad with both mechanical tabs and silicone adhesives. This platform specific advanced material shim design is included with every WBR brake pad.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Performance
• Solid Pedal Feel With Smooth Braking Performance
• Ultra-Quiet Ceramic Formulation
• Low Dust – Long Life
• Advanced Material Platform Specific Shims
• Scorched for Easy Break In
• Positive Mold Construction
