Durable ceramic formulation uses less metal, providing high-quality braking power in a quiet and low-dusting package
Premium shims, slots and chamfers help to diminish noise, vibration and braking harshness
Ready to be installed right out of the box – no curing required
Friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate for bond integrity
Stamped backing plate allows for proper pad movement within the caliper assembly, reducing noise, brake pulsation and helps to protect against premature wear
Engineered to help resist corrosion and premature wear
Tested using AMP3 standard utilizing SAE J2784 for braking effectiveness, along with Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH) and durability/wear testing for quality
Organic vs. Ceramic vs. Semi-Metallic - What Is The Difference?
A common question many drivers have when shopping for brake pads is “What is the difference between the different brake pad materials?” While all brake pads will stop your vehicle, there are pros and cons of each pad material:

Installation Tips
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
Apply Brake Lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
