Important Note:

Brakes are a safety critical part of a motor vehicle. Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.


Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.

Akebono's advanced ProACT™ Ceramic Disc Pads, Original Equipment on many of North America's most popular cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles, are ideal OEM replacement components and the perfect performance option for drivers looking to upgrade from conventional pads.

Akebono Ceramic Technology (ACT) helps to reduce the brake noise (squealing and grinding), vibration and harshness (NVH) problems associated with some aftermarket brake products. Ceramic technology also produces ultra-low dusting for cleaner wheels and tires and fosters minimal wear on the brake rotor.

Other advantages of ProACT™ 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

NVH control is further optimized by the fact that ProACT™ Ceramic Disc Pads are designed for specific models, as well as powder-coat finished and harmonically damped. All Akebono ceramic disc pad formulations are also asbestos-free.

    Replaced pads and rotors with new plain faced rotors and Akebono Pro Act pads on a 2005 Honda Accord LX sedan. The brakes perform very well. I usually use Honda pads for replacement, but decided to go with Akebono pads this time. Time will tell how well they perform and last. I am impressed with the quality of the pads construction. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    The stock brakes shuddered and shook the car almost every time I slowed from 70+. I replaced them with the Akebono pads. The rotors had about .003 runout . After a local shop ruined them I installed the Brembo replacement rotor. This combination greatly exceeded my expectations. Although I noticed a very slight increase in pedal pressure, this was negligible. After 35000+ miles, the rotors still have a nearly mirror finish. the pads still have at least 75%.
