Akebono ACT1210A Ultra-Premium Ceramic front brake pads are a low-dust, quiet ceramic replacement set engineered for precise stopping and long life on compatible Lexus, Toyota, Scion, and Pontiac models.

These Akebono ProAct Ultra-Premium ceramic pads deliver a factory-like fit and predictable brake feel while minimizing noise and brake dust.

The GREY friction material is formulated for durability and smooth engagement under everyday driving conditions.

Which vehicles will these Akebono ceramic pads fit?

The ACT1210A set corresponds to FSMI pad shape D1210 and fits a range of front brake applications across certain Lexus, Toyota, Scion, and Pontiac models from roughly 2006 through 2019. Always verify part cross-reference and vehicle-specific compatibility before purchasing.

What should I consider when replacing front brake pads?

For best results, inspect rotors, calipers, and mounting hardware when installing new pads. Replace or resurface rotors if worn or scored, and use manufacturer-recommended shims and lubricants to preserve noise control and pad life.

• Measure rotor thickness and runout before installation
• Replace pad hardware and anti-rattle clips if corroded or damaged
• Use high-temperature brake grease on contact points per service manual
• Bed-in new pads gently to ensure proper transfer layer on rotors
