This product line focuses on delivering reliable braking performance with materials and designs that align with original equipment specifications. The 604988 disc brake pad set exemplifies this approach by combining semi-metallic friction material and steel backing for consistent wear and effective heat dissipation, suitable for Porsche sports cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 15.50 mm on both inner and outer pads, providing a substantial pad life. The friction material is semi-metallic, offering a balance between braking efficiency and durability. The pads are not slotted and do not include mounting hardware, pad shims, abutment clips, or brake lubricant. The backing plate is made of steel with an integrally molded friction material attachment, ensuring secure bonding and structural strength. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration during braking. While the pads are prepared for a pad wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Porsche Boxster models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Porsche Cayman vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Porsche 911 series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn or thin brake pads causing reduced braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise due to uneven pad edges or poor fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade from insufficient friction material thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-compliance with safety standards requiring ECE-R90 certified parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for original semi-metallic pads to maintain vehicle braking characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires removal of the existing brake pads and inspection of the brake rotors for wear or damage. Since mounting hardware and pad shims are not included, reuse existing components if in good condition or replace separately as needed. Ensure the brake caliper pistons are properly retracted before fitting the new pads. Although these pads are prepared for wear sensors, verify sensor compatibility and install sensors separately if required. Follow manufacturer torque specifications and perform a brake system test after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ATE Original Disc Brake Pads 604988 are ECE-R90 certified, meeting stringent European safety and performance standards.
