Looking to upgrade from conventional brake pads? Akebono ProACT™ ceramic brakes are an excellent option—they even appear as Original Equipment on some of North America's most popular cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles.

"I chose these pads because I wanted something better than stock, with little fade, and less brake dust that would not eat up my rotors. These fit the bill. I've taken the same pads through two track days and a mountain run and experienced little to no fade and very little dust. Also I experienced NO noise at anytime." — Tire Rack Consumer Review, Lexus GS420, GA

This review, among others, is so positive because of Akebono Ceramic Technology. It works to reduce vibration and harshness. And as ceramic brakes, you'll experience less brake dust, too.

Smooth, quiet braking. No dust.

It's not too much to ask for in a pair of ceramic brakes, really. Just make the switch to ceramic brakes and you'll notice the difference. Ceramic compounds and copper fibers replace their metallic counterparts, handling high brake temps with less heat fade. And that means you'll stop and go easier than before. Without all that excess dust.

And noise. How? That's the interesting part—it actually creates a sound frequency beyond what our little human ears can hear. We think that's pretty cool. (Read more.)
