MPA Electrical 1001-0495M Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Overview

MPA Electrical 1001-0495M is a rear disc brake pad set built for Mercedes-Benz and Saab applications that call for a semi-metallic rear pad. The application-specific friction formula is engineered to restore consistent stopping performance, while the copper-free construction supports quieter operation and low brake dust.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz and Saab rear brake applications, this pad set uses integrally molded friction material with adhesive-backed shims and included abutment clips for a more complete pad service. The 1001-0495M part number is a direct reference for fitment verification on supported vehicles.

Key Features

• Application-specific friction compound for rear disc brake service
• Copper-free formula for 2025 compliance
• Low brake dust and quiet operation
• Integrally molded friction material
• Adhesive-backed pad shims included
• Abutment clips included

Detailed Description

MPA Electrical 1001-0495M is a regular-grade rear disc brake pad set for select Mercedes-Benz and Saab models. The pad formulation is tailored to the application rather than using a one-size-fits-all compound, which helps maintain predictable pedal response and braking feel across a wide thermal range. The 1001-0495M part number is useful when matching rear brake pads for Mercedes-Benz C230, C280, E300, and related applications, as well as Saab 900 rear brake service.

This pad set is built with integrally molded friction material, adhesive-backed shims, and abutment clips to support stable pad fitment and reduced noise during operation. It is a practical choice for rear brake maintenance on Mercedes-Benz E-Class, SL-Class, and 300-series vehicles where the listed caliper and pad-pin configurations apply.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Worn rear brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
• Brake noise from pad wear or unstable pad contact
• Excess brake dust from older friction materials
• Uneven braking feel from degraded rear pads
• Service needs on rear brake systems with the listed caliper configurations

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and caliper configuration before ordering. This part is listed for rear applications only and includes pad shims and abutment clips; mounting hardware is not stated as included. Clean the caliper contact points and inspect related brake components during installation to support proper pad movement and noise control.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical specifies a copper-free friction formula with low dust and quiet operation, and the application-specific compound is engineered for consistent performance across a broad temperature range. The 1001-0495M part number helps confirm the correct rear brake pad set for the listed Mercedes-Benz and Saab applications.
