Detailed Product Description

The QC1508 disc brake pad set is crafted with ceramic friction material, known for its stable performance and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.706 inches, ensuring adequate lifespan and consistent braking force. The slotted design helps dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by preventing edge chatter. Included abutment clips assist in proper pad alignment and secure fitment, although pad wear sensors and shims are not included with this set.
