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.
Las pastillas cerámicas ProAct™, para frenos de discos, son los repuestos ideales de Equipo Original de Fabrica (OEM, por sus siglas en inglés) para los autos más populares en Estados Unidos, camiones ligeros y utilitarios deportivos. Además, son la opción perfecta para conductores que deseen mejorar el desempeño de las pastillas convencionales.
La Tecnología de Cerámica Akebono (ACT, por sus siglas en inglés) ayuda a reducir el ruido originado por los frenos (chillido y rechinar), vibraciones y asperezas usualmente asociadas con las pastillas que pueden ser obtenidas en el mercado de repuestos. Además esta tecnología produce muy poco polvo, lo cual ayuda a mantener los neumáticos y los rines en mejores condiciones de limpieza; también fomenta un menor desgaste del disco de freno.
Otras ventajas de las pastillas de freno ProACT™ son:
- Efectividad inicial incomparable, no necesita período de adaptación.
- Ultra silenciosa y frenado tranquilo.
- Alta resistencia a debilitarse por el calor y de recuperación rápida
- La sensación consistente del pedal ofrece confianza la conductor.
Los controles contra ruido, vibraciones y asperezas son optimizados por el hecho que las pastillas ProACT™ son diseñadas para modelos específicos, además de tener una capa de polvo y ser humedecidas conjuntamente. Las pastillas de cerámica Akebono no tienen asbesto.

I put on this combination of the Akebono pads and Brembo rotors on the front wheels of my Camry in 2007. They re now ready to come off, at 99,000 miles of use without a problem. The pads still have a fair amount of life, but I ve recently started getting some pedal pulsing during high speed braking. I m assuming the rotors have worn thin enough to have warped a little. I can t say enough good about these pads/rotors -- good pedal feel, no brake noise, almost no brake dust, and good stopping power. Needless to say, I ll stick with this combination in the future.

the Akebono ProACT Ceramic Pads are an awesome improvement over the OEM stock alternatives for a few bucks more. Installed Fall of 08 and they re still going strong, just inspected and I have a lot of pad left, granted I dont brake hard or drive that much. The rotors I bought are rusting on the insides but I need to brake harder as the truck sits outside and I live in Northern IL. Mechanic advised to brake harder to clear the rust build up off. The pads are really quiet compared to the OEMs. Fade Resistance is hard for me to gauge with my truck. Pads leave virtually no dust, and I m very happy with them.
