Element3 Metallic Product Line Features

The Element3; Metallic line from Raybestos focuses on delivering durable, high-performance brake pads with metallic friction material. This product line is engineered to provide consistent braking response and long pad life, making it suitable for drivers who require dependable stopping power without the need for slotted or sensor-equipped pads. The PGD1504M part benefits from this design philosophy, offering a balance of performance and durability tailored for BMW vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

The PGD1504M disc brake pad set features integrally molded metallic friction material, which enhances pad durability and braking consistency. Both the inner and outer pads have a height of 2.510 inches and widths of approximately 6.1 inches, with thicknesses of 0.720 inches (inner) and 0.760 inches (outer). Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration during braking. The pads come with staked pad shims attached, which further reduce noise and improve fitment. This set does not include a pad wear sensor or mounting hardware, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
