Product Details and Features

These rear disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable braking performance and reduced dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.9 mm, ensuring a substantial lifespan. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges are incorporated to minimize noise and promote even pad wear. Included pad shims help further reduce noise and vibration during braking. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear brake pads on Mini Cooper models
