Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.2 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, improving overall brake performance and reducing the risk of fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad wear and vibration. Included pad shims assist in proper pad alignment and help reduce noise during braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with front brake systems on select Mazda and Volvo vehicles, including Mazda 3 and Volvo C70, S40, and V50 models.
