Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The PD291 disc brake pad set from Wagner Brake features a ceramic friction material composition, which offers a stable coefficient of friction and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.58 inches, ensuring adequate lifespan and consistent braking performance. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, helping to maintain pad integrity under demanding conditions. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to provide a clear indication when pad replacement is necessary, supporting vehicle safety and maintenance schedules. Additionally, pad shims are supplied to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. This set does not include abutment clips or chamfered edges, aligning with the original equipment specifications for Subaru Standard models.
