Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction and less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade under heavy use. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 18.5 mm, ensuring a substantial amount of material for longer service intervals. Pad shims are included to further reduce noise and enhance fitment. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.
