Pros & Cons
Pros
Akebono ceramic brake set is very quiet in my 18 rx350. These front pads fit nicely (so do the rear pads) they make no noise and do a good job of stopping my car's front wheels. The product was used for a toyota highlander.

I must admit that i did not replace or have the rotors turned on my 2017 sienna during its first brake pad change and unfortunately during a trip from nyc to va i did get that warped rotor signature during braking from above 55 mph
