Detailed Product Description

The QC1160 disc brake pad set features a ceramic friction material composition that offers consistent braking with reduced dust and noise compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.675 inches, ensuring durability and extended service life. The slotted design helps dissipate heat during braking, which can improve pad longevity and reduce brake fade.

Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter braking by reducing edge stress and uneven wear.
