Review: Amazing brake feel - Bought these for my Lexus 06 IS350 and I knew had to change the pads and rotors right away. 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 ## 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 | #143,939 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #608 in Automotive Replacement Brake Pads | | Brand | Akebono | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (314) | | Date First Available | October 10, 2007 | | Exterior | Chrome | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00821726003188 | | Item Weight | 0.01 ounces | | Item model number | AKEACT1118 | | Manufacturer | Akebono | | Manufacturer Part Number | ACT1118 | | Material | Ceramic | | Model | ACT1118 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 6.5 x 3.7 x 3.2 inches | | Specification Met | OEM | | UPC | 821726003188 | | 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good brake pads! *by A***W on September 30, 2024* No issues, good bite, low noise and low dust. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing brake feel *by I***I on April 25, 2019* Bought these for my Lexus 06 IS350 and I knew had to change the pads and rotors right away.

These pads have all the qualities one l one looks for; quiet, powerful, affordable, comfortable, etc... I took the Is200t through the canyons with these after letting them become friends with the rotor, and I was very impressed at their performance despite it being an "OEM alternative". Felt like an upgrade honestly. No brake fade either, and also not harsh initial bite. ## 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.co.za/products/7676039-akebono-act1118-proact-ultra-premium-ceramic-disc-brake-pad-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7676039-akebono-act1118-proact-ultra-premium-ceramic-disc-brake-pad-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
