Help control brake noise and vibration up front with the Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads, part number ACT1280, a front pad set built around an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2022 Honda Pilot, 2017-2025 Honda Ridgeline and 2007-2020 Acura MDX. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Ceramic formulation: OE-validated and application-specific, so the compound is matched to the vehicles this set is cataloged for.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: part of a pad design aimed at braking performance and NVH control.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: scientifically engineered to support braking performance and help control noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
  • Akebono engineering: Akebono Brake Corporation calls itself the originator of ceramic brake technology. It focuses on NVH analysis and control and runs technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.

Each disc brake pad presses against the rotor when the brakes are applied, and the resulting friction slows the vehicle. Over time the friction material wears down. If your front pads are worn, these Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads replace them with a compound developed for your application.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
