Akebono Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pads ACT1336A — Ultra-Premium, Low-Dust Quiet Performance

Akebono ACT1336A Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pads deliver quiet, low-dust stopping performance designed to match or improve OEM braking feel on compatible domestic and Asian vehicles.

These Akebono ProACT ceramic rear pads are engineered as an upgrade or direct replacement for factory rear brake pads. Built from a densely formulated ceramic compound and tuned backing plate assembly, they focus on reducing noise, minimizing brake dust, and maintaining consistent pedal feel under everyday driving conditions. Akebono supplies original equipment to automakers across North America, and the ACT1336A is designed to reflect that same OE attention to fit, materials, and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) control.

How will these pads affect braking noise and vibration?

ProACT ceramic formulation plus precision backing hardware work together to reduce the squeal and shudder many drivers notice with conventional replacement pads. The material and shims are optimized to damp vibration, so stops feel quieter and smoother in daily driving.

• Ceramic friction compound tuned to lower audible squeal
• Engineered backing plate reduces transmitted vibration
• Designed for consistent engagement across normal temperatures

Will these pads create less brake dust and keep wheels cleaner?

Yes — ceramic compounds generally produce finer, lighter-colored dust that adheres less to wheels than semi-metallic alternatives. That means a cleaner wheel appearance for longer between washes without compromising braking performance for commuter and family vehicles.

• Low-dust ceramic formulation reduces visible residue
• Cleaner wheels extend time between cleanings
• Dust profile suitable for alloy and painted wheel finishes

Are these a direct fit for my vehicle and what are the package dimensions?

Akebono ACT1336A is vehicle-specific; it’s made to match the fit and mounting features of compatible rear calipers on many domestic and Asian models. Check fitment with your vehicle year, make and model before purchase to confirm compatibility.

• Fit type: Vehicle Specific — verify fitment lists
• Package dimensions: 8.25" L x 15.25" W x 13.25" H
• Package weight: 4.76 lbs — shipped ready for installation

How do these pads affect pedal feel and overall braking performance?

Akebono designed the ProACT ceramic compound and backing plate assembly to provide a controlled, predictable pedal response similar to OEM pads. Drivers can expect steady modulation during normal driving, with reduced tendency for pedal pulsation caused by noise or poor pad bedding.

• Pedal response tuned for everyday driving conditions
• Reduced tendency for pulsation and uneven engagement
• Intended to match or enhance OEM braking characteristics

Who is this for? The Akebono ACT1336A Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pads are a strong choice for owners of compatible domestic and Asian vehicles who want near-OEM braking behavior with lower noise and less wheel staining. They suit drivers who prioritize quiet operation, easier wheel maintenance, and reliable daily performance rather than track-focused, high-temperature braking. Always confirm vehicle-specific fitment and follow proper bedding-in procedures after installation for best results.
