Durable Ceramic Disc Brake Pads for Hyundai and Kia Models

The DuraGo BP1826C disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance for select Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Designed with ceramic friction material and mechanical pad wear sensors, these brake pads provide consistent stopping power and enhanced durability.

• 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 for proper fit and noise reduction
• Iron backing plates bonded securely to friction material

Technical Details and Specifications

The DuraGo BP1826C brake pads feature an outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 0.68 inches (17.2 mm) and an overall pad thickness of 0.92 inches (23.3 mm). Both inner and outer pads measure 138.2 mm in width and 61 mm in height, ensuring precise fitment. The pads include chamfered edges and a slotted design to enhance braking efficiency and reduce noise. The friction material is bonded to iron backing plates with a thickness of 0.24 inches (6.1 mm), providing structural integrity and heat resistance. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.

Compatible Hyundai and Kia Vehicles

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the Hyundai Forte, Forte5, Kona, Kona Electric, Optima, Sonata, and the Kia Niro EV, Seltos, and Soul EV. The DuraGo BP1826C is designed specifically for these vehicles to ensure proper fit and braking performance.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Brake noise and vibration due to worn or uneven pads
• Reduced braking efficiency from heat buildup and fade
• Excessive brake dust accumulation on wheels
• Delayed pad replacement alerts without wear sensors
• Uneven pad wear causing premature rotor damage

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BP1826C brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure a secure fit. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace separately as needed. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and perform a brake system inspection after installation.
