You have to compare the FMSI number of the pad to see if it is identical with the stock pad.
FMSI is the standard reference given to pad size for application compatibility.
Do not rely on the manufacturer part numbers alone, they may have no correlation to the FMSI number.

Shows, Brake Pads FMSI ID D1391 for correct part for my vehicle. So, I would then need to verify with the amazon seller that their product's FMSI matches?
Thank you!

Be very careful the application is correct buying such parts from Amazon. I find that www.tirerack.com will more accurately identify the correct part or pads in your case. They also sell Akebono, so you could use them to cross reference the number and compare prices.

Googling around..

Akebono might be a rare case to actually embed the FMSI in their part number (ACT1391)

Getting them installed at STS for literally half the price Lexus quoted me for (same hardware same labor)

I have OEM pads on the vehicle for now, and they're amazing. IDK if Akebono supplies the OEM, it says they are on many North American cars, but reviews I've read here and elsewhere certainly rate them highly -- which BTW is odd when I look at the "stopping power" rating on them on;

Rating them 2 out of 5

Akebono supply pads to many OEMs. They can make good stuff or bad stuff depending on how they're spec'd.
I wouldn't worry too much about the rating. For all we know, 2 may be OEM equivalent and 5 may be racing brakes. I doubt you will notice much of a difference given the rear pads does less work compared to the front.

i wouldn't put too much weight on those reviews. There is so much subjectivity to account for. Alot of negative reviews stem from using new pads on old rotors, poor pad bed-in, etc....
There is some truth to GSteg's statement about Akebono can make good or bad stuff.
Pad manufacturers from time to time change their pad material formulas and keep the part numbers the same, in some cases they are really outsourcing from another supplier. So your experience may vary and hopefully in a good way.

I had Akebono pads replaced on all my brakes on my sc400 about six months ago. It's the most comfortable and quiet pads I ever used. Performance-wise (stopping power) is not very good. I'll definitely stick to oem pads in the future.
