After searching for new brake pads for my car and getting multiple part numbers listed as proper fitment for an '06 STR, I finally decided to email Akebono direct.
Here is there response:
Your application takes the D1240 for the front. We do not offer a D1240. This is due to low volume. The rear takes the EUR1095. It is available. Thank you for using Akebono pads.

Any suggestions on the next best brand to go with?? I was really looking forward to minimal brake dust ! Damn, just my luck.

No problem, I was just trying to save you the time and energy since I did this exercise before. The 06-08 guys need all the help we can get.
The Centrics are great pads, stop great, very little dust and very cheap to boot,
its a win,win,win in my books and wallet..
I don't think the EBC were available either, (when I did my brakes)
