Akebono ProACT Ultra Ceramic Front Brake Pads ACT1363 — Grey, Low Dust Quiet Performance

Akebono ACT1363 ProACT Ultra Premium front ceramic brake pads are a factory-compatible set of four engineered for quieter braking and consistent stopping power on select Cadillac and Chevrolet models (2007–2019).

These ProACT ceramic disc pads from Akebono are designed as a direct-fit replacement for a range of front brake applications on Cadillac and Chevrolet vehicles. Built to meet or exceed OE-style fit and function, the pads use Akebono’s premium ceramic friction material for reduced noise, low dusting, and predictable pedal feel. The kit includes four pads sized to install on one axle and ships in compact packaging measuring roughly 20.32 × 12.446 × 9.144 cm, making it convenient for home mechanics and professional shops alike.

What makes the ProACT ceramic material different from standard pads?

Akebono’s ProACT formulation focuses on ceramic-based friction to deliver quieter operation and lower wheel contamination compared with semimetallic compounds. Ceramic friction generally creates less dust, which helps keep wheel finishes cleaner over time, and produces a more refined noise signature under everyday braking.

• Ceramic-based compound for reduced brake dust
• Smoother, quieter engagement vs. many semimetallic pads
• Consistent performance across normal temperature ranges
• Designed for gradual, predictable brake feel

Which vehicles and model years does this kit fit?

This ACT1363 kit is intended for front-axle applications on a selection of Cadillac and Chevrolet passenger vehicles from model years 2007 through 2019. Fitment depends on specific trim, axle configuration, and rotor size; always confirm parts compatibility with your VIN or vehicle fitment tool before purchase.

• Front disc pad set (one axle) — set of 4 pieces
• Commonly compatible with select Cadillac and Chevrolet models 2007–2019
• Direct-fit design for OEM-style caliper mounting
• Verify exact fit using VIN or vehicle-specific lookup

How do these pads perform during everyday driving and maintenance?

For daily driving, ProACT pads provide stable stopping power without aggressive bite, making them a good match for street-driven cars and light-duty commuting. They are engineered to be low-maintenance—producing less residue on wheels and exhibiting minimal break-in quirks—helping reduce cleaning and adjustment time.

• Predictable pedal feel for urban and highway use
• Lower dusting keeps wheels cleaner between washes
• Minimal break-in required for normal driving conditions
• Packaged for straightforward installation by technicians or DIYers

Are these pads durable and what should I expect for service life?

Service life depends on driving habits, vehicle weight, rotor condition, and road types. The ProACT ceramic compound is tuned to balance wear and braking performance—offering competitive longevity for everyday street use—while protecting rotors from excessive wear when installed correctly.

• Durability suited to routine commuting and light towing scenarios
• Rotor-friendly ceramic formulation helps extend rotor life
• Service interval varies by driving style and conditions
• Inspect rotors and calipers at pad replacement intervals for best results
