Review on πŸ”΅ Akebono ACT1118 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit, Grey: Superior Performance and Reliability by Jose Perry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Clean but not that quiet

I have a 2015 Lexus GS350 RWD F Sport. On the one hand, they are in no way inferior to the original pads when it comes to brakes, but bite a little less. I did find myself pressing the pedal a little harder than I was used to, but nothing outrageous. I bought them to reduce brake dust. You did amazing. The first few days of these breaks were great, they were quiet. Unfortunately, that's where the good ends. In the summer they're silent until they're warm, but after that, from 10 to 0 mph, an embarrassing screech can be heard. It's noisy. When it rained in winter and got cold, the problem only got worse. My first few times when I step on the brakes they make a deafening screech. When warming up, they have the same problem as in the summer. I have lubricated everything that needs to be lubricated, but there is no solution. I can't believe a company would put out a product that sounds so bad. I've read reviews about the squeaking but it doesn't seem like everyone has the same issue so I gave it a try anyway. In short, if all you care about is keeping your wheels clean, order them. Another thing is that I would not recommend this product at all.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • weak
