Element3; Ceramic Product Line Features

The Element3; Ceramic line by Raybestos focuses on ceramic brake pads that provide a balance of performance and comfort. This product line incorporates advanced friction materials and design features such as slotted pads and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad life. The PGD588C part number represents a disc brake pad set within this line, tailored for specific Infiniti vehicles requiring precise fitment and reliable braking characteristics.

Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos PGD588C disc brake pad set is designed with ceramic friction material that offers stable friction performance and reduced dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away gases and debris, improving pad contact and heat dissipation during braking. Chamfered edges and attached pad shims reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter driving experience. Both the outer and inner pads measure 4.280 inches in width and 0.201 inches in thickness, ensuring proper fit and consistent wear. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing durability and structural integrity. This set does not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware, so those components should be sourced separately if needed.
