The pads have an overall thickness of 14.9 mm (0.59 inches) and a height of 52.8 mm (2.08 inches), with a width of 87.1 mm (3.43 inches). The friction material is bonded securely to iron backing plates measuring 5.6 mm (0.22 inches) thick. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and improve pad bedding. This set does not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware but comes with pad shims to ensure proper installation and noise control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including but not limited to Audi A1, A3, A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, A8 Quattro, Allroad Quattro, S4, S6, S8, TT, and TT Quattro. Volkswagen fitments include Beetle, Cabrio, Corrado, Derby, Eos, Golf, Jetta, Jetta City, Passat, Quantum, and R32. The DuraGo BP340MS is designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, providing consistent performance for daily driving and moderate conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP340MS Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade caused by excessive heat buildup during prolonged braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration due to uneven pad wear or poor fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced stopping power from worn or low-quality brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear leading to premature replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust accumulation affecting wheel appearance and brake performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP340MS brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Properly bed the new pads by performing gradual stops to allow the friction material to seat evenly. Check brake fluid levels and inspect rotors for wear or damage during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo brake pads are manufactured to meet industry standards for safety and performance. The BP340MS set uses bonded semi-metallic friction material and iron backing plates to provide consistent braking under normal driving conditions. While specific warranty details are not provided, DuraGo products typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
