Detailed Product Features and Benefits
These brake pads feature a 17.7 mm thickness on both outer and inner friction surfaces, providing a substantial wear life. The carbon fiber ceramic composition offers a balance of heat dissipation and consistent friction, which is critical for heavy-duty truck and SUV braking demands. Slotted pads help channel dust and gases away from the rotor surface, reducing brake fade and improving overall stopping power. Chamfered edges minimize noise and vibration during braking. The mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance. Additionally, the included mounting hardware, pad shims, and brake lubricant facilitate a complete and proper installation.
