Product Details and Specifications

The PGD9M disc brake pad set features a metallic friction material composition that provides a balance between braking efficiency and pad longevity. Both inner and outer pads measure 3.180 inches in width and 0.200 inches in thickness, ensuring uniform contact and wear. The friction material is integrally molded, which helps maintain structural integrity under various driving conditions. This set does not include pad wear sensors, mounting hardware, or shims, so these components should be sourced separately if required for your Aston Martin DB7, Jaguar XJ, or Maserati Quattroporte.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Aston Martin DB7 and Virage
• Upgrading braking components on Jaguar XJ6, XJ12, XJRS, and XJS models
• Restoring braking performance on Maserati Quattroporte and Zagato vehicles
• Addressing uneven brake pad wear or reduced stopping power
• Eliminating brake noise caused by degraded friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos PGD9M brake pads, ensure the brake rotors are inspected and resurfaced or replaced if necessary to maintain optimal contact.
