About the Quality-Built Black Series Ceramic Brake Pads w/ Hardware

The Quality-Built Black Series Ceramic Brake Pads w/ Hardware line by MPA Electrical focuses on delivering dependable braking components with ceramic friction material. This product line emphasizes noise reduction and pad longevity, making it a practical choice for drivers of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles requiring reliable disc brake pad replacements. The inclusion of hardware and adhesive-backed shims supports proper installation and helps maintain brake system performance.

Product Details and Features

The 1003-0840C brake pad set features ceramic friction material known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, ensuring consistent wear and structural integrity. Included abutment clips and mounting hardware facilitate secure installation, while the adhesive-backed pad shims help minimize noise and vibration during braking. This set is designed for regular grade use, making it suitable for daily driving scenarios on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models.

Applications and Problem Solving

  • Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, Passat, and S6
  • Reduces brake noise and vibration through included adhesive-backed shims
  • Helps maintain consistent braking performance with integrally molded friction material
  • Addresses brake pad wear issues with durable ceramic composition
  • Supports proper brake hardware fitment to prevent uneven pad wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installing the new pads. Use the included mounting hardware and abutment clips to secure the pads properly. The adhesive-backed shims should be applied carefully to the backing plate to reduce noise. Although brake lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the contact points (excluding the friction surface) can help prevent squealing. Follow vehicle-specific service manual instructions for torque specifications and installation procedures.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

These MPA Electrical brake pads are new and manufactured to meet OEM standards for fit and function. The ceramic friction material and hardware components are designed to provide reliable braking performance. Warranty details are subject to the manufacturer's terms and conditions; please refer to MPA Electrical for specific coverage information.
