Product Details

The Akebono Euro Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad line is aimed at European vehicle brake systems that benefit from stable pedal feel, low dust characteristics, and refined stopping performance. EUR779 is a rear brake pad application for 1998-2011 Mercedes-Benz models including SLK300, SLK280, SLK230, SLK320, C230, C240, and C280, plus 2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire rear brake service. If you are replacing rear brake pads on a Mercedes-Benz C230 or SLK320, EUR779 is the part number to verify against your vehicle’s brake configuration.

Akebono develops brake and friction materials through technical centers in Japan, the United States, and France, with manufacturing support across global facilities. That engineering background is reflected in the EUR779 pad design, which is built for consistent rear brake performance in standard disc brake systems.

This part cross-references Bosch BC779 and Wagner Brake MX779 for the same application.
