Detailed Product Description

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers a balance of performance and reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 16.4 mm, ensuring long service life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and provide smoother engagement. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify installation and help maintain proper pad alignment.
