Review on Akebono ACT1259 ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic by Brian Tompkins

I just installed this on my 2012 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring (rear only) and definitely felt the improvement in braking performance. No squeaks and handled perfectly with Bosch 34010917 QuietCast Premium brake discs. They come as a set (4 pads) and come with clamps but no brake lube so be sure to buy it separately. We'll see how long they last and how much noise and brake dust they make, but so far they're great. My local auto repair shop, PNW Greg's Japanese Auto, only uses Akebono pads on Japanese cars, so I decided to give those a try as well. I saved $300 by making pads and rotors myself.
