ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad Line

Akebono’s ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad line focuses on OE-style brake feel, low-noise operation, and clean wheel performance in daily driving conditions. The ACT2045 follows that formula with a ceramic compound and hardware-specific fitment details for Subaru front brake applications.

Fitment Details

• Fits 2024-2025 Subaru Impreza, front, without High Performance Brake Pads.
• Fits 2019-2024 Subaru Forester, front, with steel wheels.
• Fits 2018-2023 Subaru Crosstrek, front, with abutment clips.
• Fits 2017-2023 Subaru Impreza, front, with abutment clips.

This part cross-references ADVICS AD2045 and Bosch BC2045 for the same application.

What This Brake Pad Set Helps Address

• Brake squeal or noise from worn front pads
• Reduced stopping consistency from depleted friction material
• Brake warning issues when the wear sensor is triggered
• Uneven pad contact when abutment clips are worn or missing
• Front brake service needs on Subaru Impreza, Forester, and Crosstrek models

Installation Notes

Confirm front axle fitment by year, model, and brake configuration before ordering. This pad set includes a mechanical wear sensor and abutment clips, but brake lubricant is not included. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and mounting points during service, and replace any worn components that affect pad movement or pedal feel.

Quality Assurance

Akebono ProACT brake pads are built around a ceramic friction design and OE-style fitment details for the listed Subaru applications. ECE-R90 certification is not listed for this part.
