Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material composition, which offers a balance between braking efficiency and pad longevity. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during extended use. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 16.60 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The steel backing plate provides strength and stability, with the friction material integrally molded to ensure secure attachment. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort. While the pads are prepared for a wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included. Mounting hardware, pad shims, abutment clips, and brake lubricant are also not included in this set.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg
• Addressing brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and slotted design
• Improving braking performance and heat management during heavy or frequent braking
• Ensuring compliance with safety standards through ECE-R90 certification
• Maintaining consistent pad thickness for reliable stopping power

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the ATE Original Disc Brake Pads 604993, ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware and shims are not included, reuse existing components if they are in good condition or replace as necessary. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s FMSI numbers (7878-d1014, 7878-d977, 8366-d1014) before installation. Pads are prepared for wear sensors, so if your vehicle uses sensors, install them accordingly. Proper bedding-in of the new pads is recommended to achieve optimal braking performance.
