Durago BP974MS Disc Brake Pad Set Overview

The DuraGo BP974MS disc brake pad set is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles. Designed with semi-metallic friction material and mechanical pad wear sensors, this set offers consistent stopping power and durability for models like the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon XL 1500.

• Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and wear resistance
• Mechanical pad wear sensor included for timely maintenance alerts
• Slotted and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad bedding
• Pad shims included to minimize vibration and enhance fitment
• Iron backing plates with bonded friction material for structural integrity

Technical Details and Features

The DuraGo BP974MS brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 14 mm (0.55 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring ample material for extended service life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during heavy use. Chamfered edges further reduce noise and prevent uneven wear. The semi-metallic composition balances braking efficiency with durability, suitable for regular driving conditions. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to provide early warning when replacement is needed. Although mounting hardware is not included, pad shims are supplied to ensure proper installation and reduce vibration. The iron backing plates provide a solid foundation for the bonded friction material, enhancing overall pad stability.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models, including:

• Cadillac Escalade
• Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, Suburban 1500, Tahoe
• Chevrolet Express 1500, 2500, 3500
• GMC Savana 2500, 3500
