BMW Disc Brake Pad Set – Rear (Ceramic) 34356870352

Akebono represents the best Japan has to offer when it comes to top-tier braking components and systems. This company's name has become synonymous with quality and performance, both on and off the track.

Founded as Akebono Sekimen Kogyosho in 1929, Akebono Brake Corporation has quickly climbed the ladder, overtaking local and international competitors one by one.

Where Akebono excels the most are innovative friction materials. This company has designed several types of brake pad compounds to fit different applications. Most of these pads offer at least 10% more than similar solutions from other companies.

Add to that an incredibly rigorous quality control that all Akebono products are subjected to, and you end up with a set of pads that you can count on to deliver every time you need them to.

Akebono also operates in the United States where this company runs three production facilities — one in Kentucky, one in Tennessee, and one in South Carolina.

The current lineup of Akebono's product includes three distinct ranges of pads — Akebono Euro, Akebono Performance, and Akebono ProACT. Each of these is dedicated to a specific vehicle profile.

Akebono offers a number of brake pad solutions for BMW vehicles across all three product lines. If you're looking for something that is several steps above the OEM, Akebono is the right place to start.
