Apekono brake pad price ???

What's a fair price for Akebono brake pads for an SRT (front & rear)?

I have about 18K on the original OEM pads, and am considering changing. because of the wheel dust! The Disc's look and feel pretty smooth. I don't really want to buy new discs, and I read that MB doesn't recommend re-surfacing them. What's your experience and knowledge about this?

Rotex Gold or Posi Quiets are excellent choices.

I'd definitely have the rotors turned to prevent squealing, but even if you don't you should pull the rotors and coat the flanges with anti-seize while you have the calipers off.

Here's why.....

Re: Apekono brake pad price ???

I put C32 rotors on my SRT and had them turned before installing.... no problem with them at all... I installed the DiskItalia Titanium Kevlar pads on both mine.... I will look at ceramic next time and will have to replace the rotors then....
