Durago BP598MS Disc Brake Pad Set Overview
The DuraGo BP598MS disc brake pad set is designed for reliable braking performance on select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Engineered with semi-metallic friction material and slotted design, these pads provide consistent stopping power for models like the Ford Taurus, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Cougar.
- Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and durability
- Slotted pads to help reduce heat and brake fade
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Includes pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
- Iron backing plates bonded securely to friction material
Technical Details and Features
The DuraGo BP598MS brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 11.4 mm (0.45 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring adequate lifespan and consistent braking. The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and provide smoother engagement. The backing plates are made of iron and the friction material is bonded firmly to the backing for structural integrity. Pad shims are included to help reduce vibration and noise, although mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included. These pads are designed with a regular grade type suitable for everyday driving conditions.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications

Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify compatibility with your specific vehicle make and model. The DuraGo BP598MS pads do not include mounting hardware or abutment clips, so ensure these components are in good condition or replaced as needed. Properly clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installing new pads. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. After installation, perform a bed-in procedure to optimize pad performance and longevity.
