Bosch QuietCast BC1304 Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Set — Low Dust, Quiet Stops, OE Fit

The BOSCH BC1304 QuietCast rear ceramic disc brake pad set delivers OE-quality stopping power with low dust, reduced noise, and enhanced corrosion resistance for compatible rear axles.

Built from Bosch’s long history in braking systems, the QuietCast BC1304 is a direct-replacement rear pad set engineered to match factory fit and function. These pads pair ceramic friction material with Bosch’s Molded Shim Technology and powder-coated backing plates to provide quieter stops, less brake dust, and longer service life compared with many aftermarket alternatives. The set ships with the necessary hardware and synthetic lubricant (when included for your application) to simplify installation on the specified Lexus and Toyota models.

How does the BC1304 reduce noise during braking?

Noise control is addressed through Bosch’s multi-layer OE-style rubber core shims and careful pad design. The pre-attached shims offer improved bonding between rubber and steel, dampening vibration that causes squeal. Additionally, OE-style slotting and chamfers on the pad face help prevent uneven contact that leads to high-frequency noise.

• Molded Shim Technology (MST) for superior rubber-to-steel bonding
• Pre-attached multilayer shims to absorb vibration
• Slots and chamfers reduce uneven pad-to-rotor contact

What stopping performance and dust levels can I expect?

The BC1304 uses a proprietary Bosch ceramic friction formulation engineered for consistent deceleration and minimized residue. Ceramic compounds typically produce finer, lighter dust than semi-metallic options, helping wheels stay cleaner between washes. While exact performance varies with vehicle weight and driving conditions, these pads are tuned to deliver dependable street braking for the listed rear applications.

• Proprietary ceramic friction for stable stopping performance
• Lower dust generation compared with many semi-metallic pads
• Engineered for predictable pedal feel in everyday driving

Will the BC1304 resist corrosion and wear?

Bosch applies a corrosion-resistant powder coat to the backing plate to slow rust and extend pad life, particularly in climates with road salt or moisture. The robust construction and quality materials also help maintain structural integrity under repeated braking events. Regular inspection and proper bedding-in remain important to maximize longevity.

• Powder-coated backing plate for improved rust resistance
• High-strength construction to resist edge cracking and deformation
• Includes lubricant for sliding contact points where applicable

Which vehicles are compatible with this rear pad set?

The BC1304 is intended for select rear axle applications on several Toyota and Lexus models. Fitment can depend on model year, trim, and optional equipment, so always verify compatibility with your vehicle's fit checker or parts catalog before purchase. This set replaces the pads for one axle (two wheels) and may include a hardware kit when specified.

• Compatible examples: Lexus LX570 (2008–2021)
• Toyota Land Cruiser (2008–2021), Sequoia (2008–2022), Tundra (2007–2021)
• Includes pads for one axle and hardware/lubricant where available

Who is this for? Drivers and technicians seeking a high-quality rear replacement pad that closely matches original equipment performance—especially owners of the listed Lexus and Toyota models—will appreciate the QuietCast BC1304. It’s suited for daily-driven SUVs and trucks where quieter stops, lower dust, and improved corrosion resistance are priorities, and for anyone wanting a straightforward OEM-style swap with included hardware when applicable.
