Product Details

Akebono Brake Corporation is known for ceramic brake technology and for supplying original equipment brake solutions across a wide range of vehicles. EUR1306 is part of the Euro Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad line, which is aimed at European vehicle braking requirements where smooth pedal feel, low noise, and consistent friction behavior matter. This part number, EUR1306, is used on front brake applications for Volvo S60, Volvo V60, Volvo XC70, Volvo S80, Volvo V70, Volvo S60 Cross Country, Volvo V60 Cross Country, Land Rover LR2, and Range Rover Evoque fitments listed above.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake squeal during everyday stopping
• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent front brake response
• Worn front pads on Volvo S60, Volvo V60, or Range Rover Evoque applications
• Noise and vibration concerns after pad wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor size and vehicle configuration before ordering, since some fitments require a 300mm rotor or specific brake package details. Several applications note use without abutment clips, and one Range Rover Evoque fitment excludes the 17-inch brake setup. Confirm the exact year, model, and front axle brake specification against the vehicle before installation. This part number, EUR1306, is intended for front position use only.

Quality Assurance

Akebono develops brake friction materials through technical centers in Japan, the United States, and France, with a long history in OE brake supply and ceramic brake engineering. That background supports consistent material development for European vehicle braking systems and front pad replacement service.
