ADVICS Ultra-Premium OE Replacement Product Line

The Ultra-Premium OE Replacement line by ADVICS is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line focuses on delivering premium-grade materials and precise manufacturing to ensure compatibility and reliable performance. The AD1697 disc brake pads exemplify this approach by combining advanced ceramic friction with integrated wear sensors and quality backing materials.

Product Details and Features

The ADVICS AD1697 disc brake pad set is specifically designed for Acura and Honda vehicles including the Accord, Civic, ILX, RDX, and RLX models. The ceramic friction material composition offers stable friction characteristics and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The slotted pad surface helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to provide a reliable indication of pad wear, helping maintain safe braking performance. The fine blank steel backing plate ensures structural integrity, while the integrally molded friction material attachment enhances durability. Chamfered edges and multi-layer black pad shims contribute to quieter operation by reducing vibration and noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible Acura and Honda models
• Addressing brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and shims
• Improving braking consistency and reducing brake dust with ceramic friction material
• Ensuring timely brake maintenance with included mechanical pad wear sensors
• Enhancing heat dissipation and reducing brake fade through slotted pad design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the ADVICS AD1697 disc brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to prevent uneven pad wear. Although brake lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the backing plate contact points can help reduce noise. Verify compatibility with your specific Acura or Honda model and year before installation.
