There are front Akebono pads sold by this very site. But they all say for Bendix calipers. I got my fronts elsewhere (different store, I don't remember which one). The rear pads were from this site, I do not know why they do not stock them anymore.

Well, sent and then had the same idea as you.
Odd, I get a different webpage than you. At first felt insulted, as did search the poorly designed catalog (doesn't allow part number searching even though Google), however, obviously you are seeing a different page. Made sure too by using find.
I however see no part number on this other the other page. Know not why we have to limit our purchases to this site. For me, I can get parts within a couple hours using another company; can Pelican do that?
FCP eventually got back to me and said to purchase the ones listed under 560SL. Holding off right now as ordered rear brake hoses that cost almost the same and got to earn some bread to pay ($60 to $90 a week).
As for rear pads, they are the same across a lot of Ate calipers, even fronts. I had bought a half dozen sets of ceramic on clearance for the front calipers on the Volkswagen and the rears looked very familiar. Got out the calipers and confirmed with help from the Peach that they fit. In short, you may not get Akebono rear pads, but there are other brands that do. Figure with the rear doing 40 percent less, inexpensive pads not as detrimental.
