Beck/Arnley/Axxis Brake Pads

Eargasm · Jan 30, 2009

Just got off the phone with Kragen. Their website lists Axxis Brake Pads along with Beck/Arnleys. The gal on the phone says they carry Beck/Arnley (or is it Anely?) but says there's no mention of Axxis in their in-store computers. Anyone know if Beck/Arnley bought out Axxis or if they're a distributor for them or what?

I've never heard of B/A, so I just want to make sure I'm getting what I'm looking for (Axxis/PBR).

Thanks.

Beck and Arnley are german suppliers IIRC.

I'm not sure if Axxis are the same or not. What vehicle?

Do B/A have a good reputation?

Axxis is another brand name for the PBR pads as you know. Beck Arnley are not a German company to my knowledge. They are a reboxer of automotive parts and usually have decent quality stuff in my experience. Many times their reboxed stuff is from OEM.

Yup; you gotta look in the box before you leave the store, though.

I have PBR pads now, but I don't remember them being stamped or anything. How will I tell if they're actually PBRs?

Well, if they are in a Beck Arnley box you can't as far as I know. But if they are in an Axxis box then you have PBR aka the old name was Repco pads.

They say on the pbr on the backing plate.
OBTW
I am changing pads on the 245 today.
Come on down and join the fun.

If it can wait, why not just get them from RPR and know what you're getting? Orrrr just go to NAPA (they carry PBR)
