Replace worn front pads with Akebono ProACT ACT929A, an ultra-premium ceramic brake pad kit built on an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation that Akebono designs for braking performance and NVH control. It is listed for several models, among them the 2002-2013 Subaru Outback, 2003-2010 Subaru Forester and 2002-2012 Subaru Legacy. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
ProACT pads pair their ceramic compound with precision-cut pressure plates and scientifically engineered chamfers and slots. Akebono uses this combination to target optimal braking performance and control of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
- Ceramic formulation: OE-validated and application-specific.
- Precision-cut pressure plates: part of the pad's engineered construction.
- Engineered chamfers and slots: designed to support braking performance and NVH control.
- Akebono heritage: Akebono Brake Corporation calls itself the originator of ceramic brake technology, and its brakes are installed as original equipment on many models in total.
Akebono focuses on friction material development and NVH analysis. It runs technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France. This front disc brake pad set is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Shoppers comparing Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads can match ACT929A to their vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.
Signs that pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, a longer stopping distance, and friction material that has worn thin.
