The BC1623 front pad set pairs a proprietary ceramic friction compound with pre-attached multilayer rubber-core shims and powder-coated backing plates to reduce noise, resist corrosion, and limit wheel dust. Each kit includes pads for one axle (two wheels), plus hardware where applicable and synthetic lubricant for caliper contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads reduce brake noise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise reduction comes from Bosch's Molded Shim Technology (MST) and OE-style multilayer rubber core shims that are bonded to the pad backing plate.
