Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT1589
Deliver quiet, low-dust stops with the Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (ACT731), a front-axle set that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR, 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, and 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
This is the FRONT disc brake pad set for the listed applications. Brake pads wear as a normal service item — signs they may need replacing include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances, and a thinning friction layer. For even, balanced braking, replacing the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set is recommended. Always inspect the rotors and hardware when installing new pads.
