Technical Details of DuraGo BP1172C Brake Pads
The DuraGo BP1172C disc brake pad set features an outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 8.9 mm (0.35 inches), ensuring adequate material for extended use. Both pads have a height of 45.2 mm (1.78 inches) and a width of 141 mm (5.55 inches), matching the specifications required for Buick DTS and Cadillac Lucerne vehicles. The pads include slotted surfaces to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during operation. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter braking by reducing vibration. The friction material is bonded to iron backing plates with a thickness of 0.22 inches (5.6 mm inner, 0.22 inches outer), providing structural integrity and durability. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.
