Akebono is good, I'm using them on my Hiace, I dont notice a difference between the Akebono and OEM. Maybe it's because Akebono makes OEM pads as well.

Bought a set of NiBK pads for my Crown, will update how they are once I fixed them

Where did you get the Akebonos in Sri Lanka? Srikantha Motors? was interested in Akebono Ceramic pads once but these guys were only carrying regular types.

@Ruslan I got it from a friend in Matale, I heard its available in Colombo in couple of shops

Engine and drive train certainly yes! Better suited to wide open spaces but the OZzy crowd must think the styling is off 🤔? ( I mean the car of choice there is the Holden and this is as dissimilar as you can get right?) 

@Kavvz There’s a following for JDM cars here. People who are into cars will definitely notice a Century. When i drove this I noticed people staring, they probably were wondering what it is. My Crown also picks up a lot of attention at traffic lights and at shopping centres, I often get people asking me what it is.

Not only that, most Toyota JDM cars have really good resale value, not only they hold their value but go up in price as well
