Akebono Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pads ACT1879 — Ultra-Premium, Low-Dust Quiet Performance

Akebono ACT1879 Ultra-Premium Ceramic rear brake pads are a vehicle-specific replacement designed to deliver near-OEM stopping power with reduced noise, minimal dust, and consistent pedal feel.

If you want factory-caliber braking for domestic and Asian cars and trucks, these Akebono ProACT ceramic pads are engineered as an upgrade or a direct replacement for original equipment. Akebono, a leading OE supplier in North America, formulates the ceramic friction material to prioritize quiet operation and cleaner wheels while maintaining reliable braking response across everyday driving conditions.

How do these pads affect noise, vibration and harshness?

These ceramic pads are blended and backed with noise-damping features to lower squeal and harsh feedback. You should notice fewer high-pitched noises and smoother engagement compared with many standard semi-metallic pads.

• Ceramic friction compound for quieter stops
• Engineered backing and shims to reduce vibrations
• Consistent pedal modulation under normal driving loads

Will they keep my wheels cleaner and produce less dust?

Yes—ceramic formulations typically generate finer, lighter-colored particulates that cling less to wheel surfaces. That means you’ll spend less time cleaning brake dust from rims versus many metallic pad options.

• Low-dust ceramic material for cleaner wheels
• Reduced black residue compared to some non-ceramic pads
• Suitable for daily drivers concerned with appearance

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

The ACT1879 model is a vehicle-specific rear pad set designed to match the fit and mounting of compatible domestic and Asian OEM rear calipers. Packaging and weight details help confirm shipping size and handling for retailers or installers.

• Fit type: Vehicle specific — matches OEM rear calipers
• Package dimensions: 8.25" L × 15.25" W × 13.25" H
• Item package weight: 4.76 pounds

How do these pads perform over time and in routine use?

Akebono’s ProACT ceramic pads aim for stable friction characteristics and predictable wear for everyday driving, helping preserve consistent stopping distances and pedal feel. They’re built for regular street driving rather than track-focused braking, so you’ll get longevity and comfort in commuting, errands, and light towing scenarios.

• Designed for long-term, predictable wear
• Optimized for street use rather than race conditions
• Compatible with factory rotors when properly inspected

Who is this for: The Akebono ACT1879 Ultra-Premium Ceramic rear pads are tailored for owners of domestic and Asian vehicles who want near-OEM braking performance with quieter stops and reduced wheel dust. Ideal for daily drivers, families, and anyone seeking a high-quality, vehicle-specific ceramic replacement that aligns with factory feel and fitment requirements. Always verify part compatibility with your vehicle make, model and year before purchase and have pads installed or inspected by a qualified technician.
