About the Raybestos Element3; Metallic Brake Pads

The Element3; Metallic line from Raybestos is engineered to deliver reliable braking performance using metallic friction material that is integrally molded to the backing plate. This design enhances pad durability and wear consistency. The inclusion of staked pad shims helps reduce noise and vibration during braking, improving overall driving comfort. These pads do not include wear sensors or mounting hardware, simplifying installation for vehicles that do not require these components.

Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake pad set features a uniform pad width of 3.350 inches and an overall thickness of 0.193 inches for both inner and outer pads. The friction material is unslotted and chamfered edges are not present, focusing on straightforward, effective braking performance. Pad shims are attached using a staked method, which helps maintain pad alignment and reduce noise. The absence of pad wear sensors means these pads are best suited for vehicles that do not rely on electronic wear indicators.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

Installation Notes and Tips

The pads come with attached shims, which should be installed as-is to maintain noise reduction benefits. Verify compatibility with your specific Acura Legend or Hyundai Sonata model year before installation. Proper bedding-in of the pads after installation is recommended to optimize braking performance.
