Quiet, low-dust braking is the whole point of Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads (MPN ACT1430), a rear disc brake pad set that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — including the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS, 2014-2020 Chevrolet Impala, 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, 2011-2017 Buick Regal, 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse, 2010 Buick Allure and 2010-2011 Saab 9-5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment and the full vehicle list.
These are Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads, built from an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation.
- Application-specific ceramic: OE-validated formulations matched to the vehicle for consistent braking.
- Precision-cut pressure plates: support the friction material for even, stable pad contact.
- Chamfers and slots: scientifically engineered for optimal braking performance and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control.
- Everyday ceramic benefits: low, light-colored dust and quiet operation compared with conventional semi-metallic pads, with a smooth, consistent pedal feel during daily street driving.
This listing is one rear pad set; for even, balanced braking it's best practice to service both rear wheels together. Worn pads may signal themselves with squeal, reduced stopping response or a grinding noise, so inspect the rotors when you replace the pads.
