Built around Akebono's focus on noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control, the Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set ACT721 pairs an OE-validated ceramic formulation with precision-cut pressure plates. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, 2000-2002 Subaru Outback and 1998-2003 Subaru Impreza, as a direct-fit front replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • OE-validated ceramic formulation: Each set uses an application-specific ceramic formulation that is OE-validated.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: The pads are built on precision-cut pressure plates.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: Scientifically engineered chamfers and slots are designed for braking performance and NVH control.
  • Akebono background: Akebono Brake Corporation, the originator of ceramic brake technology, is an original equipment brand on many vehicle models. It runs technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.

These Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads mount in the front brake calipers. When the brake pedal is applied, the caliper presses the pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. Signs that the front pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or friction material that looks thin on inspection. Have the brake system inspected so the cause is confirmed before replacing parts.
