Detailed Product Description

The QC1421 disc brake pad set features a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable friction and generates less brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.703 inches, ensuring a substantial lifespan. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps prevent brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter driving experience. Additionally, the included mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal braking performance. Pad shims and abutment clips are included to ensure proper installation and reduce noise.
