These front pads are precision-made to match original equipment tolerances, come wrapped in a protective blue shop towel, and are supplied with a hardware kit and synthetic lubricant to ease installation and reduce sliding resistance at contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these brake pads reduce noise during braking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNoise reduction is achieved through Bosch’s layered shim system and ceramic friction formulation that reduces vibration and harsh deceleration sounds.
