About the Raybestos Element3; Metallic Brake Pads

The Element3; Metallic line from Raybestos is engineered to deliver consistent braking performance using metallic friction material. This product line focuses on durability and reliable stopping power, making it suitable for vehicles requiring robust brake pads without additional features like slotted designs or wear sensors. The integrally molded friction material ensures a secure bond to the backing plate, while chamfered edges help minimize noise during braking.

Product Details and Specifications

The PGD708M disc brake pad set is designed without slotted friction material or pad wear sensors, simplifying installation and maintenance. Both outer and inner pads share identical dimensions, measuring 1.880 inches in height, 4.500 inches in width, and 0.228 inches in overall thickness. The pads do not include mounting hardware or shims, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. The chamfered edges contribute to smoother engagement and reduced brake noise.
