Hello Everyone,
When I bought the 240 the PO was proud to tell me that he had just installed new front brakes. Which is great, but he installed pads that make an unbelievable mess of the wheels. I have never seen brake dust this bad which is why they will be replaced before spring comes around.
So I checked the usual suspects for ceramic options, but all everybody is offering is for rear brakes. Apparently there are no Akebonos available for front brakes. Then I went to Rockauto and they have quite a few options from Wagner, Bendix and Centric, all very affordable.
Do you have any experience with these, or do you have other recommendations?
Thanks, Dirk
