          I liked the design of this brake pad. It has slots for heat distribution that keeps the pads and rotors cooler. the eas of installation on my Honda Pilot was unbelieveable! I completed the whole front brake job in under 30 minutes!

                This is a quality product and it was an easy install. It fitted quite nicely and breaking seems much better than previous pads that came from factory although it had a smaller surface than factory version. Performs better thqan expected.

                  Great replacement pad; No 'seating' required - excellent stopping right out of the box.

                    So far so good after these pads were installed. They are quiet. In the website it says these are ceramic but the retailed box does not say this as ceramic.

                        The Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit from Akebono does not include the installation kit. This Includes high - temperature resistant moly lube and shims. This is Asbestos-free 2-wheel set Direct fit brake pads.
