About the Raybestos Service Grade; Ceramic Brake Pads
The Service Grade; Ceramic line from Raybestos focuses on providing dependable braking performance with ceramic friction material. This material composition is engineered to deliver quieter stops and less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design in the friction material helps improve heat dissipation, which can contribute to longer pad life and consistent braking under normal driving conditions. This set does not include mounting hardware or pad wear sensors but comes with pad shims to minimize noise.
Key Features and Specifications
The Raybestos SGD798C disc brake pad set features integrally molded ceramic friction material with slotted pads to enhance braking efficiency. Both inner and outer pads measure 4.850 inches in width and 0.220 inches in thickness, ensuring proper fitment and performance. The pads do not have chamfered edges but include shims to reduce vibration and noise during braking. This set is designed without pad wear sensors and mounting hardware, so those components should be sourced separately if needed.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Mazda Protege
- Reduces brake noise and vibration compared to older semi-metallic pads
- Helps address brake dust accumulation on wheels
- Improves heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during regular driving
- Restores consistent braking performance and pedal feel
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Raybestos SGD798C brake pads on a Mazda Protege, ensure the caliper and rotor surfaces are clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware is not included, inspect existing hardware for wear and replace if necessary. Properly install the included pad shims to minimize noise and vibration. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and perform a brake system test after installation to confirm proper operation.
