Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads come from Akebono Brake Corporation, the originators of ceramic brake technology. Akebono is a leading North American supplier of advanced brake technology, and vehicle makers have chosen it as original equipment on a wide range of models. The company focuses on brake and friction material development and on NVH analysis and control, and it runs technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.
This disc brake pad set supplies the friction that slows the vehicle when the pads clamp against the rotors. Squealing or grinding, a brake wear warning, thin pad material or longer stopping distances are signs the pads may need replacing. Replacing the front pads on both sides together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
