DuraGo BP970C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Ceramic Disc Brake Pads for Ford Focus and Transit Connect
The DuraGo BP970C disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance designed specifically for Ford Focus and Transit Connect models. Engineered with ceramic friction material and slotted design, these brake pads provide consistent stopping power and reduced noise.
- Ceramic friction material for smooth, quiet braking
- Slotted pads to help dissipate heat and reduce 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 Material Composition
The DuraGo BP970C brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective stopping power with low dust generation. Both inner and outer pads have substantial friction material thickness—approximately 11.0 mm inner and 11.2 mm outer—ensuring durability and extended service life. The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, while the iron backing plates provide structural strength and stability. Pad shims are included to further reduce noise and ensure a secure fit. Note that mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, and these pads do not come with wear sensors.
Compatible Vehicles and Application
This disc brake pad set is compatible with select Ford models, specifically the Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect. The DuraGo BP970C is designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, providing a direct replacement for original equipment pads.
- Replacement for worn or damaged brake pads on Ford Focus and Transit Connect
- Addresses brake noise and vibration issues
- Improves braking consistency and pedal feel
- Helps reduce brake dust buildup on wheels
- Suitable for regular driving conditions and daily use
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP970C 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 minimize noise and vibration. Check brake fluid levels and test the brake system after installation to confirm proper operation. It is recommended to replace brake pads in axle sets to maintain balanced braking performance.
