DuraGo BP1397C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durago BP1397C Disc Brake Pad Set Overview
The DuraGo BP1397C disc brake pad set is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Hyundai and Kia models. Designed with ceramic friction material and mechanical pad wear sensors, this set offers consistent stopping power and durability for vehicles like the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte.
- Ceramic friction material for quieter braking and reduced dust
- Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
- Mechanical pad wear sensor included for timely maintenance alerts
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Pad shims included to ensure proper fit and reduce rattling
- Iron backing plates bonded securely to friction material
Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The DuraGo BP1397C brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that balances performance and longevity while producing less brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 10.8 mm (0.43 inches), with an overall pad thickness of 16.9 mm (0.67 inches), ensuring ample material for extended use. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by reducing vibration and noise. The iron backing plates are bonded to the friction material for structural integrity, and pad shims are included to help maintain a secure fit and minimize noise. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is needed, supporting vehicle safety and maintenance.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with various Hyundai and Kia models, including:
- Hyundai Elantra
- Kia Forte, Forte5, Forte Koup
- Kia Soul
Use the DuraGo BP1397C pads to address common braking issues such as:
- Reduced braking efficiency due to worn pads
- Brake noise caused by uneven pad wear or vibration
- Brake fade from excessive heat buildup
- Brake dust accumulation on wheels
- Delayed pad replacement alerts without wear sensors
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation of the DuraGo BP1397C brake pads requires standard brake service tools. Note that mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included and should be inspected or replaced separately if worn. Ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to promote optimal pad seating. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bolts and verify proper brake function before driving.
