They don't sell 6E for the Akebonos, or I'd probably have those. The 6 have been absolutely wonderful though. I've put many thousands of street miles plus a dozen autocross days and 4 or 5 track hours on them and they're maybe half way used up... Brilliant.
I doubt they last as long, but they do grip harder, and they are for road-course stuff, too. I've only ever tried 6/5+ on the Akebonos, and 6Ex4 on the AP/Stillen kit, but my guestimation at this point is that 6/6E is even better for the Stillen kit than what I'm running now (but not enough that I'd throw out these front pads early), and that 8/6 would be ideal on slicks.

(Also in my post above everywhere that I said RC-5E I meant RC-5+ )
