This product line integrates ceramic friction material that offers stable performance under various driving conditions while protecting rotors from excessive wear. The inclusion of hardware and shims ensures a proper fit and helps maintain brake system integrity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a substantial 17.8 mm thickness on both outer and inner pads, providing extended service life. The ceramic friction material composition is engineered to reduce dust buildup, which helps keep wheels cleaner and reduces maintenance. The slotted pad design enhances heat dissipation, preventing brake fade during heavy use. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter braking by minimizing vibration and noise. Additionally, the mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, supporting timely brake system upkeep. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify installation and ensure proper alignment within the brake caliper assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, 3500 (including Classic and HD variants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500 (including Classic and HD variants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHummer H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Avalanche 1500, 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Suburban 1500, 2500 and Tahoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Yukon, Yukon XL 1500, Yukon XL 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 1500, 2500 and GMC Savana 1500, 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther compatible models include Astro, C2500, K2500, Safari, and various Sierra and Silverado HD models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration during stopping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremature pad wear and rotor damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade under heavy or repeated braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelayed pad wear indication without sensor alerts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the Power Stop 17-785 brake pads includes the provided mounting hardware and pad shims to ensure proper fitment and alignment.
