akebono brake question

[david]

after uch reading i think im about to get akebono brakes

my quw=estion is what is the difference between these 2 offered at the same website. the more expensive one says it is a direct oem replacement. shouldnt they both be replacements for oem? or even a upgrade compared to oem?

which one should i get? are they basically the same?

I am not sure about the partnumbers but i also changed my brakepads not so long ago.
OEM replacements from Akebono, now i am waiting for them to wear out and i will change everything for EBC, discs and pads as these from Akebono are not the best quality.
The braking force is in my opinion low if you realize this car is almost 2000 kilo.
And lots of brake dust on the wheels!

IMO go for a set from EBC, good quality!
They have a serie pads for heavy SUV's called SUV 4x4 6000 serie
That's the ones i will go for
