Default akebono rear brake pads - EUR340a (2000)

Posting this because it's a little confusing how they list the part #'s. These are awesome pads, I would recommend them even over OEM for a street pad, just found out they make pads for our cars.

I got them for $46 shipped from a place on ebay. Ceramic w/shims.

They aren't flexible, stick-on shims, are they? On my '98 on the front pads, they bunched up and I had to remove them. But other than, that, I had them on the car for several years and they performed very well. No brake dust, nice bite and great wear. I wish they made them for the S8.

no, they look like SS crimped on shims. The stick on ones always shift like that eventually.

Footnote: I also had the shims bunch up... do without them.
