Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident.

  • Stopping Power
  • Low Noise
  • Low Dust

Akebono Performance Pads for intense driving, light trucks, SUVs or even law enforcement and other fleet vehicles, are carefully engineered O.E. replacement components featuring Akebono Ceramic Technology™ (ACT). Akebono Ceramic Technology (ACT) helps to reduce the brake noise (squealing and grinding), vibration and harshness (NVH) problems associated with some aftermarket brake products. The friction material produces low dust for cleaner wheels and tires and fosters minimal wear on the brake rotor.

Designed to provide exceptional stopping power with minimal dust, Akebono Performance Pads are 100% shimmed, chamfered and slotted. They are powdercoated with high-impact color paint for corrosion resistance and enthusiast appeal.

Additional advantages of ACT ceramic brake pads include:

  • Unrivaled "initial effectiveness" with no required break-in period
  • Ultra-quiet, positive and smooth braking performance
  • High resistance to fade with fast recovery
  • More consistent pedal feel for driver confidence

All Akebono ceramic disc pads are asbestos-free.

    Lasted a month before the uncontrollable squeal was unleashed. I have taken these pads off twice now and cleaned all the slide pins and regrease what I could. Still only helps for about 100 miles before the noise comes back. Sticking with HAWK. :{

    This brakes on my new rotors are great and grip great. I have a lot of good to talk about them, but the only thing is they have a lot of brake dust. I have Hawk HPS pads in my rear that I installed before I got my front rotors and they were great; low noise/dust, and stopping. These Akebono's aren't as tight( but didn't make hawks for my fronts) as Hawks, but they still are great if you don't mind cleaning your tires ever week

    My 2009 Odyssey Touring, purchased new in March of 09, repeatedly developed front brake vibrations. Honda took care of them swapping rotors under warranty for the 1st 36,000 miles. I machined them once at 50,000 miles. The front pads were worn out at 80,000 and the rotors vibrating. I replaced them with StopTech Cryo-Treated Slotted Rotors and Akebono Performance Pads. I occaisionally take this Odyssey to the track with Audi Club Driving School Events (I am nuts. LOL). I have experienced no brake pulsations and the front pads have about 25% left. They never fade. For awesome service at the Tire Rack, contact Alex Mourales, ext 294. He s been helping me since 2001.
