About the Element3; Ceramic Product Line

The Raybestos Element3; Ceramic line focuses on delivering ceramic brake pads engineered for enhanced performance and longevity. This product line features integrally molded friction material that improves pad integrity and wear consistency. The slotted design aids in heat dissipation, which helps maintain braking efficiency and reduces the risk of brake fade. These pads are designed to meet the specific braking requirements of vehicles like the Mazda 929, ensuring a precise fit and reliable stopping power.

Detailed Product Description

The PGD552C disc brake pad set is crafted with ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and low dust generation. The slotted design in the friction material helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, which contributes to consistent brake performance and pad longevity. Pad shims are included to reduce noise and vibration, although mounting hardware and pad wear sensors are not part of this set. Both the outer and inner pads measure 5.430 inches in width and 0.240 inches in thickness, providing balanced braking force on both sides of the rotor.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Mazda 929
• Reduction of brake noise and vibration during operation
• Improved heat dissipation to prevent brake fade on long descents
• Minimizing brake dust buildup on wheels
• Restoring consistent braking performance and pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is cool before installation. Clean the rotor surface and inspect for wear or damage. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Apply brake lubricant to contact points where appropriate, and verify that pad shims are properly positioned to reduce noise. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
