Product Details and Features
The MPA Electrical 1003-0045M disc brake pad set is engineered with semi-metallic friction material, which combines metal fibers with organic compounds to deliver effective heat dissipation and consistent braking performance. This composition is suitable for regular driving conditions, providing a balance between stopping power and pad longevity. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing durability and reducing the risk of delamination during operation.
Included with the brake pads are adhesive backed pad shims and abutment clips. The shims help minimize brake noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter and smoother braking experience. Abutment clips ensure the pads remain properly seated within the caliper, preventing uneven wear and maintaining optimal braking efficiency. Note that mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included with this set.
