Detailed Product Description

The ADVICS AD1159 disc brake pad set features ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by reducing vibration and harsh engagement noises. The backing plates are made from fine blank steel, providing structural integrity and resistance to warping. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, ensuring a secure bond and consistent performance. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking conditions. The set includes multi-layer black pad shims that help dampen noise and vibrations during braking.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the ADVICS AD1159 disc brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to prevent contamination.
