Pros & Cons
Pros
The pads were installed on a 07 corolla, replacing worn out oem pads. Not having abs, i depend on reliable and predictable braking and this setup delivers exactly that. Used with replacement oem shims.
Box includes 4 akebono brake pads, foam padding, and brake grease. The grease is pretty good and the instructions say that warranty is void if you don't use their grease. Lower dust as well.

First time ive used akebono product and will probably stay with them as the quality is quite good

I also went with the napa silglyde lube on the slide pins and shims and it worked great
Shipping
The package was shipped overnight with prime shipping great turnaround time

The low pad warning clip fit only very loosely on these brakes so i left them off not wanting to superglue it
