Technical Features and Benefits

The NXE-978 brake pads feature a 14.8 mm thick friction material on both the inner and outer pads, providing substantial wear life and consistent braking performance. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by reducing pad-to-rotor noise and vibration. The carbon fiber ceramic friction material is engineered to offer stable friction characteristics and lower dust output compared to traditional brake pads.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg
• Improves braking consistency and reduces fade during performance or daily driving
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and quality shims
• Helps maintain rotor condition by reducing excessive dust and heat buildup
• Includes hardware kit to ensure proper pad fitment and secure installation

Installation Notes and Tips

These brake pads come with a complete hardware kit and pad shims to facilitate installation. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage before installation and replace or resurface as necessary. Proper cleaning of the caliper and mounting surfaces will help ensure optimal pad performance. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify if your vehicle requires a sensor and install separately if needed.
