DuraGo BP956C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Ceramic Disc Brake Pads for Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn
The DuraGo BP956C disc brake pad set offers reliable stopping power for select Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models. Designed with ceramic friction material and mechanical pad wear sensors, these brake pads provide consistent performance and safety for your vehicle.
- Ceramic friction material for smooth, quiet braking
- Slotted design to reduce heat and improve pad performance
- Mechanical pad wear sensor included for timely maintenance alerts
- Chamfered edges and bonded friction material for reduced noise and vibration
- Pad shims included to minimize brake squeal
- Compatible with Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G4, G5, Ion, and Saturn Pursuit
Technical Specifications and Features
The DuraGo BP956C brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 11.9 mm (0.47 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring long-lasting wear. The ceramic composition offers stable friction and reduced dust compared to traditional materials. The pads include a slotted design to help dissipate heat during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges and bonded friction material attachment contribute to quieter operation and better pad-to-rotor contact. The backing plates are made of iron, providing structural strength and durability. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal braking performance. Pad shims are included to further reduce noise, though mounting hardware and abutment clips are not part of this set.

This disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:
- Chevrolet Cobalt
- Pontiac G4

Ensure proper fitment by verifying your vehicle make and model before installation. The DuraGo BP956C is designed specifically for these models to meet their braking system requirements.
Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP956C Brake Pads
- Brake noise and squeal due to worn or low-quality pads
- Reduced braking efficiency from overheated or glazed pads

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP956C brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. 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 safety procedures during installation.
