The ceramic NAO friction material is paired with a premium shim to help control noise and deliver smooth, predictable braking in daily use.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal during normal street driving
• Excessive brake dust on front wheels
• Uneven or rough brake pedal feel
• Worn front pads that trigger the acoustic wear indicator
• Need for an OE-style ceramic replacement on Tokico brake systems

Installation Notes

Verify the brake system is Tokico and confirm pad shape FMSI 7880-D1539 before installation. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and pad contact points for wear or scoring, and clean the caliper bracket surfaces before fitting the new pads. Because this pad includes hardware and an acoustic wear indicator, follow the vehicle service procedure for proper seating, torque, and break-in.
