Click to buy Akebono Ceramic Brake Pads

As technology has improved, Akebono has consistently experimented with new brake materials in order to reduce noise, improve braking, and reduce the amount of brake dust. Testing countless materials, many manufacturers have gone from asbestos to organic to semi-metallic brake pads in search of the most efficient brake pad material. Unfortunately, these materials have caused problems; asbestos brake pads caused health issues and many organic compounds don�t meet braking requirements. Steel strands used in semi-metallic brake pads create additional noise and increase rotor wear. That being said, after countless tests Akebono has developed Akebono ceramic brake pads.

Akebono ceramic brake pads offer numerous advantages over other types of brake pads, including reduced abrasion as a result of copper, rather than steel, strands in the pad. Also resulting from the use of copper strands, Akebono ceramic brake pads can handle high brake temperatures, have less heat fade, recover faster after a stop, and create less dust. Because they use ceramic material, Akebono ceramic brake pads also make less noise, as a result of a higher material frequency that is beyond human perception. Most ceramic brake pads exceed standards for durability, stopping, and noise. Also having a longer life, ceramic brake pads are a great improvement over typical pads.
