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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is specifically compatible with the following vehicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuick DTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadillac Lucerne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pads are designed to replace worn or damaged brake pads, restoring braking efficiency and safety for these models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP1172C Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking performance due to worn pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration caused by uneven pad surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating and brake fade during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelayed pad replacement alerts without wear sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear leading to premature rotor damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the DuraGo BP1172C brake pads requires removal of the existing pads and inspection of the brake rotors. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace separately as needed. Ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. The included pad shims should be installed to reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment.
