The AD1521 disc brake pads are engineered to provide reliable performance and fitment for specific Acura, Honda, and Subaru models, ensuring compatibility and safety without compromising quality.

Detailed Product Description

The ADVICS AD1521 disc brake pad set features ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads.

Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal braking performance. The fine blank steel backing plate provides structural integrity, while the integrally molded friction material attachment ensures consistent pad wear. Multi-layer black pad shims and chamfered edges work together to reduce noise and vibration during braking.

  • Brake pad upgrade for Honda Accord Crosstour and CR-V
  • Suitable for Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles
  • Ideal for maintaining braking performance on Honda Odyssey and Passport

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected during installation
  • Check rotor condition and resurface or replace if necessary for optimal pad performance
  • Use recommended brake lubricant on contact points, though lubricant is not included with this set
  • Verify correct orientation of slotted pads to match rotor rotation direction
