Detailed Description
The MPA Electrical 1000-0280M front disc brake pad set is engineered for Volkswagen front brake service where a semi-metallic compound is preferred. According to the manufacturer, QB Brake pads are formulated to restore like-new stopping power while helping control brake dust and noise. This makes the 1000-0280M a practical choice for routine brake maintenance on older Volkswagen platforms such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, and Cabriolet, as well as Quantum, Atlantic, and Derby front brake applications.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What This Part Helps Address
- Reduced braking response from worn front pads
- Brake noise caused by aged or uneven pad surfaces
- Excess brake dust from deteriorated friction material
