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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the BC1304 reduce noise during braking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNoise 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded Shim Technology (MST) for superior rubber-to-steel bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-attached multilayer shims to absorb vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlots and chamfers reduce uneven pad-to-rotor contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat stopping performance and dust levels can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProprietary ceramic friction for stable stopping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLower dust generation compared with many semi-metallic pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngineered for predictable pedal feel in everyday driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the BC1304 resist corrosion and wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBosch 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowder-coated backing plate for improved rust resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-strength construction to resist edge cracking and deformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes lubricant for sliding contact points where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles are compatible with this rear pad set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible examples: Lexus LX570 (2008–2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToyota Land Cruiser (2008–2021), Sequoia (2008–2022), Tundra (2007–2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes pads for one axle and hardware\/lubricant where available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?
