Designed for quiet, controlled stops at the front axle, the Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit, part number ACT1222A, uses an OE-validated ceramic formulation developed for specific applications. It is listed for several models, among them the 2007-2017 Toyota Camry, 2007-2018 Toyota Avalon and 2013-2018 Lexus ES300h. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Application-specific ceramic formulation: each ProACT compound is OE-validated and developed for the application it is cataloged for.
- Precision-cut pressure plates: form the base of each pad.
- Engineered chamfers and slots: designed for braking performance and control of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
- OE heritage: Akebono describes itself as the originator of ceramic brake technology and an original equipment brand installed on many models.
Akebono is a North American supplier of brake technology that develops and produces brake and friction materials, with a focus on NVH analysis and control.

Squealing or grinding when you brake, longer stopping distances, or pad material worn thin are signs the front pads may need replacing. If worn pads are the cause, this disc brake pad set replaces them. Inspect the rotors and caliper hardware at the same time, and replace the pads on both sides of the axle together for even braking.
