Product Details and Specifications

The PM18-965 brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material composition that balances braking power and pad durability. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.7 mm, providing a substantial amount of material for longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing edge lift and vibration. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance. Additionally, pad shims are supplied to further reduce noise and ensure a secure fit within the brake caliper.
