Product Details

This Raybestos metallic brake pad set is built around the PGD598M platform and measures 2.900 inches in pad height, 4.880 inches in pad width, and 0.240 inches in overall thickness for both inner and outer pads. The slotted friction surface and chamfered edges support stable contact characteristics, while the included shims help reduce brake noise and vibration.
