Product Details

Brembo P06012N is a front disc brake pad set engineered around a ceramic NAO friction blend and premium shim construction. The result is a pad designed for comfortable braking feel, reduced noise, and less visible brake dust on the wheels compared with many conventional friction materials. The chamfered design supports smoother contact during braking, while the wear-indicator preparation helps maintain service monitoring on equipped vehicles.
