Cruising along the interstate, creeping through rush hour traffic or navigating through your neighborhood, you count on your brakes to stop your vehicle every time with smooth, quiet assurance.

Akebono Pro-ACT Ultra Premium ceramic brake pads are the aftermarket's only OE validated, application-specific friction formulations.
