Technical Description and Features

These disc brake pads feature a carbon fiber ceramic friction material composition that balances effective stopping power with reduced brake dust and rotor wear. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.5 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, while chamfered edges minimize noise and vibration. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to provide a reliable indication of pad life, helping maintain optimal braking performance. The kit also contains mounting hardware and pad shims, ensuring a secure fit and reducing potential brake noise.
