Both inner and outer pads have a height of 57.7 mm and widths of approximately 151.4 mm (outer) and 150.4 mm (inner). The pads are slotted to enhance cooling and reduce brake fade during demanding driving conditions. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and vibration, while the bonded ceramic friction material provides consistent braking performance. The iron backing plates measure 0.2 mm in thickness, contributing to structural integrity. 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 BMW Models and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, including the 318i, 318is, 318ti, 320i, 323i, 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328is, Z3, and Z4 models. The DuraGo BP781C is designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, providing a direct replacement for worn or damaged brake pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP781C Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration caused by uneven pad wear or poor fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking performance due to worn friction material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade from excessive heat buildup during extended braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust accumulation on wheels from non-ceramic pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear leading to premature replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP781C brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. The included pad shims should be installed to reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment. Verify pad orientation with chamfered edges facing the correct direction to minimize vibration. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bolts and perform a brake system test after 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.
