Review on Akebono ACT1044 ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic by David Perez

Installed these on new StopTech slotted brake discs on my 2013 Ford Focus. They have been properly lapped and have driven about 4000 miles. My daily commute consists of uphill and downhill driving, including a mile of steep, windy, and downhill freeways. These pads brake linearly, and while they don't have the hard initial bite of the semi-metal pads, which I prefer, once warmed up, they bite hard and confidently. Virtually no dust which is great for my alloy wheels. Considering the price, performance and lack of brake dust, replacing OEM ceramic pads is not a problem. Made in America too!
