Review on Akebono Brake Pad Set (ACT1273) 🔵 - Exceptional Performance and Durability in Grey by Erik Gerber

I bought these for my 2012 GrandCaravan in 2018. Also bought an ACT1612 rear suspension kit. At the same time, R1 Concepts Carbon Geomet rotors with perforations and slots are installed all around. And my wheels are custom 20 inches. I use this setup, I travel a lot from New Jersey to New York via GWB, so sometimes there is a lot of traffic (about 4 times a week on average), plus many other trips (even from New Jersey to Florida and back, once). ).For all this time there was no dust, no squeaks and excellent braking ability. Now about 40 months and almost exactly 20,000 km, and the braking ability is very weak and they started to squeak (meaning end of life). still no dust. I think this is a great overall performance and I will be buying front and rear kits again. The only small problem I found was about a year ago that one of the pads started to disintegrate at one point leaving a thin black line on the rotor. There are now 4 lines, but the surface of the rotor is raised at those lines, i.e. the pads are not cut into the rotors, but are weak at those few places. The 3 remaining pads had no issues and this did not affect performance other than visual appeal. I'm going to cut the rotors now but I hope the new pads don't have such problems.
