Please allow the brake pads to get used to the rotors.But for the first 2 weeks, I felt the braking distance is much longer than before. It seems fine now. (Maybe I am getting used to new braking distance.)Owners of 2007~2011 Lexus ES350;After the replacements, the clicking noise from the front brake pad/caliper was gone, which was there from day 1 in my case. I believe many of you are aware of this clicking noise. (The noise was coming from the front brake pad/caliper, when I was changing gear from Drive to Reverse or Parking to Reverse.) Maybe my mechanic did something. I would not know. Anyway, the noise is gone.Prime members, you don’t need to check out other web sites. I had already done that.Nobody can beat this price including SHIPPING.Check up list (?) might help you.- Please check up the part number for compatibility, front and rear, etc.- Please DO NOT forget to purchase Brake Disc H/W.- Please check the manufacturing date for the rotors. 2015? Really? Is this amazon-outlet? 1 of the rotor was back-ordered and delivered 1 month later, which was manufactured in May 2015. I returned it due to the condition of the rotors. The surface of the rotor was chipped and scratched and they were deep. As you receive the rotor, please check the surface of the rotors. If you compare 2 rotors at the same time, it would be easier for you to find something faulty.And if you want to return rotors, please try not to use UPS DROP BOX. Due to the weight of the item, you might damage someone else’s belongings or the rotors.

I replaced my brakes with these in 2013... yea, NINE years ago. They work extremely well and last a long time. I honestly think I can squeeze much more life out of it but I feel like I want to replace it with a whole new set to be 100% at ease just because it feel like it's been too long. I'll be getting this set again.

Works great. Thank you. K.T

The Akebono ceramic pads appear to be high quality parts. I had to transfer over the anti-squeal pads and rattle clips from my OEM Toyota pads, but that is pretty normal for aftermarket brake pads. Other than that, installation was easy and straight forward.Out on the road, the Akebono ceramic pads offer increased initial bite and better stopping power and feel, compared to the original pads on my Toyota Camry. The only downside is that they squeal when cold when backing up. Its not the end of the world, but some folks find noise objectionable so I need to mention this. That's why they are only 4 stars and not 5. Other than the noise - which goes away - I'm very happy with this product.

Replaced a set of "premium select ceramic" pads from an unknown company that were barely worn but lacked any sort of grab.These pads (which don't require bedding) immediately felt better, even before the calipers settled. They have a very progressive feel with just the right amount of initial bite for a comfortable yet confident stop.Also, these are so far very quiet. The last few days have been cold, dry, humid, and warm. So far not a single bit of noise.I go through pads fairly quickly, so I will update if anything changes. As it stands, these have been worth every penny.

I’ve had these on my 2007 Camry since September 2017 (it’s now May 2020) and there’s is still life on them. I drive an average of 20,000 miles a year. I’m very pleased with these pads and would definitely buy them again.

I replace brake pads for my toyota camry using this Akebono UltraPremium.The pads are effective, and quiet.Last time I replaced the front pads was in 2008 when the car has 40k miles.Now the car has 125k miles and I figured I might need to replace them again. Should have checked the pads before buying another set. Bought the pads, and jacked up the car. found out that the current Akebono pads still have ~ 60% thickness left.BTW, This pads comes with anti-squeaking shims. The only other parts you need to replace the brake pads are the "front disc brake hardware kit". You can buy it from dealers or from Autozone, ebay, etc. costing from $10 (ebay) to $30 (dealer).
