Technical Specifications and Features

The DuraGo BP1071C brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 10.6 mm (0.42 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring long-lasting wear. The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of squealing and vibration, while the bonded ceramic friction material offers a balance of durability and quiet operation. The iron backing plates provide structural integrity and support for the friction material. Although mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, pad shims are supplied to ensure proper installation and reduce noise.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of Ford, Jaguar, and Mercury models, including:

• Ford Five Hundred, Freestyle, Taurus, Taurus X
