Key Features

• Metallic friction material for consistent braking characteristics.
• Slotted pad design to help manage heat and surface debris.
• Integrally molded friction material attachment for stable pad construction.
• Fits front brake applications across multiple GM platforms.
• Raybestos PGD215M is referenced for OE-style replacement use in listed applications.

Detailed Description

Raybestos PGD215M is a front disc brake pad set built with metallic friction material and slotted faces. The pad wear sensor is not included or attached, and the pads are listed without mounting hardware or shims. With an outer and inner pad width of 4.920 inches and differing overall thickness values, this brake pad set is cataloged for specific front brake applications rather than universal use.

Fitment includes 1983-1996 Buick Century, 1986-1991 Buick LeSabre, 1985-1990 Buick Electra, 1983-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1990-1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV, 1985-1990 Oldsmobile 98, 1983-1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1990-1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1983-1991 Pontiac 6000, 1987-1991 Pontiac Bonneville, and 1990-1991 Pontiac Trans Sport, along with several Cadillac applications. For GM brake-code-specific listings, verify the notes before ordering. Raybestos PGD215M also appears in interchange listings with Centric, PowerStop, Wagner Brake, and other cross-reference numbers.

What It Is Used For
