Ultimate Performance with OE Quality
Cruising along the interstate, creeping through rush hour traffic or navigating through your neighborhood, you count on your brakes to stop your vehicle every time with smooth, quiet assurance. Why possibly compromise braking performance just because it is time to replace your Brake Pads? Today, motorists have an option to restore OE performance.

Akebono Pro-ACT Ultra Premium ceramic brake pads are the aftermarket’s only OE validated, application-specific friction formulations. Akebono knows the precise definition of OE-Quality as determined by the Original Equipment Manufacturers, because Akebono bids on all vehicle platforms and models years in North America. In addition to dramatically quieter braking, Pro-ACT Ceramic Pads provide best-in-class braking performance, including enhanced initial effectiveness (no break-in required), high resistance to fade, consistent brake pedal feel and ultra-low dusting for cleaner wheels and tires. Ceramic technology also causes minimal wear on brake rotors. Taken together these factors guarantee that Akebono’s Pro-ACT Ultra Premium brake pads provide the ultimate braking experience-reaching new performance levels or better.
