The pads have an overall thickness of 15.4 mm (0.61 inches) and a height of 72.9 mm (2.87 inches), with a width of 112.3 mm (4.42 inches). The friction material is bonded to iron backing plates with a thickness of 4.6 mm (0.18 inches) on the inner pad, providing structural integrity and consistent braking response. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, while chamfered edges reduce noise and improve pad bedding. This set does not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware but comes with pad shims to help reduce vibration and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorsche Cayenne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Touareg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pads are designed to meet the braking demands of these luxury SUVs, providing dependable stopping power under regular driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP978MS Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade caused by overheating during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear leading to reduced braking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced stopping power due to worn or low-quality pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust accumulation affecting rotor performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP978MS brake pads, ensure the rotors are inspected and resurfaced or replaced if necessary to maintain optimal contact.
