DuraGo BP659MS Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Disc Brake Pads for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury Vehicles
The DuraGo BP659MS disc brake pad set is engineered to provide reliable braking performance for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis models. Designed with semi-metallic friction material and slotted surfaces, these pads offer consistent stopping power and heat dissipation for everyday driving conditions.
- Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and durability
- Slotted design to reduce brake fade and improve heat dissipation
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Includes pad shims for quieter operation
- Iron backing plates with bonded friction material for secure attachment
Technical Specifications and Features
The DuraGo BP659MS disc brake pads feature an outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 9.7 mm (0.38 inches), ensuring sufficient material for extended service life. Both pads have a height of 70.9 mm (2.79 inches) and a width of 144.5 mm (5.69 inches), with an overall thickness of 17.1 mm (0.67 inches). The friction material is bonded securely to iron backing plates measuring 7.4 mm (0.29 inches) thick. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged 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 assist in noise reduction and fitment.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:
- Ford Crown Victoria
- Lincoln Town Car
- Mercury Grand Marquis
These pads are designed to meet the braking requirements of these full-size sedans, providing consistent stopping power and reliable performance under regular driving conditions.
Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP659MS Brake Pads
- Brake fade caused by excessive heat buildup

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP659MS disc brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Properly install the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure secure fitment. Check for even pad wear and confirm that the caliper slides freely. Always follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
