Committed to precision, Akebono refuses to cut corners on safety and will only implement best practices in their operations. Review: Best to get, but can still make noise. - They do make noise when it’s cold outside, even when it’s hot you can hear them ever so slightly. But to have the stopping power these have I’ll take it any day. Installing them was very easy and simple. And I was happy to see they were a perfect fit. But it did not include any hardware/direction as to what side needs to be facing outward or inward. Highly recommended these over Raybestos. They failed very quickly. Review: Quiet, reduced brake dust, great brake feel - The factory front pads on a Lexus GS350 bit surprisingly hard into the rotors. They would stop for sure, but they lacked variability in braking and created excessive brake dust. Replaced with these Akebono and couldn't be happier. Great control of braking without being obnoxiously grippy like the stock pads. They grab hard only when I ask them and are soft and controlled when I lightly brake - just what I was looking for. Less brake dust on my wheels between washes. This is my second set for the front brakes. Able to get 60,000 miles of combo highway/city driving out of the first set. Easy on my rotors, still plenty of rotor surface area according to factory specs. Used a light coat of copper anti seize on metal to metal parts on the install and the brakes are very quiet, no issue with brake squeal. Brake noise (other than obvious grinding) is largely caused by harmonics which has a ton of variables. These harmonics are wost where metal touches other metal. The copper anti seize is key to minimize those harmonics, don't skip this step. Copper anti seize can hold up to the braking system's high heat whereas other lubes cannot. Highly recommend, will buy again. ## Features - Ultra-Premium Brakes.Fit Type: Vehicle Specific - The Package Length of the Product is 16.51 centimeters - The Package Width of the Product is 9.398 centimeters - The Package Height of the Product is 8.382 centimeters ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DCH2FK | | Auto Part Position | Front | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #213,421 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,062 in Automotive Replacement Brake Pads | | Brand | Akebono | | Brand Name | Akebono | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Automobile | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 316 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00821726003188 | | Included Components | Brake Kit | | Item Type Name | Akebono ACT1118 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Akebono | | Manufacturer Part Number | ACT1118 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year Warranty | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | AKEACT1118 | | Number of Items | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | AKEACT1118 | | Specification Met | OEM | | UPC | 821726003188 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Automobile | ## Product Details - **Auto Part Position:** Front - **Brand:** Akebono - **Material:** Ceramic - **Specification Met:** OEM - **Vehicle Service Type:** Automobile ## Images ![Akebono ACT1118 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit, Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uI7rxtXjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best to get, but can still make noise. *by E***H on April 6, 2026* They do make noise when it’s cold outside, even when it’s hot you can hear them ever so slightly. But to have the stopping power these have I’ll take it any day. Installing them was very easy and simple. And I was happy to see they were a perfect fit. But it did not include any hardware/direction as to what side needs to be facing outward or inward. Highly recommended these over Raybestos. They failed very quickly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet, reduced brake dust, great brake feel *by S***S on October 28, 2022* The factory front pads on a Lexus GS350 bit surprisingly hard into the rotors. They would stop for sure, but they lacked variability in braking and created excessive brake dust. Replaced with these Akebono and couldn't be happier.

I read a lot of good things about these pads on the forum and thought I'd give them a try. It's easy to install and pads look really high quality. Initial impressions blew my mind, there's a solid amount of bite, but what really got me was how good the brake feel is when braking harder. They stop the car amazing, I know that if I slam on my brakes from 60-0 I'll stop within 3 seconds, these brakes are amazing and I feel confident driving around. Good luck to whoever is driving behind you☠️ Edit: Been over 25K miles and the front and rears looks practically new. The bite is still really good as well, squeal could be better at low speeds. I don't mind the noise, its like a warning that I'm reversing for other people haha ## Frequently Bought Together - Wlife Akebono ACT1118 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit, Grey - Akebono - ACT1391A Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pads, GREY --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7676039-akebono-act1118-proact-ultra-premium-ceramic-disc-brake-pad-kit](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7676039-akebono-act1118-proact-ultra-premium-ceramic-disc-brake-pad-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
