Product Details and Specifications

The PGD1321M disc brake pad set is constructed with metallic friction material that offers effective heat management and consistent braking performance. The slotted friction material helps to channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing brake fade and noise. Chamfered edges on the pads reduce vibration and squeal, contributing to quieter stops. Both outer and inner pads measure 1.910 inches in height and 5.010 inches in width, with an overall thickness of 0.234 inches, ensuring proper fitment for the Pontiac Matiz. Pad shims are included and clipped securely to the pads, but mounting hardware and pad wear sensors are not included with this set.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Pontiac Matiz
• Improves braking response and reduces brake fade under normal driving conditions
• Addresses brake noise issues with chamfered edges and slotted design
• Helps maintain consistent pad wear and braking performance
• Suitable for drivers seeking metallic brake pads with reliable heat dissipation

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installing the PGD1321M brake pads. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Verify that the clipped pad shims are properly seated to prevent noise and vibration. Although pad wear sensors are not included, inspect your vehicle’s sensor system and replace sensors separately if needed. Follow manufacturer torque specifications when tightening caliper bolts.
