Bosch QuietCast BC1761 Rear Ceramic Brake Pads — Low-Dust, Molded Shim Noise Reduction

BOSCH BC1761 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pads deliver OE-level stopping power with molded shim noise reduction and low-dust ceramic friction for two-wheel axle replacements.

Designed from Bosch’s long history in braking systems, the BC1761 QuietCast rear pad set blends engineered ceramic material, pre-attached multilayer shims, and corrosion-resistant backing plates to provide reliable performance and quieter stops on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models. The set ships ready for installation with pad hardware where applicable and a synthetic lubricant to ease caliper slide contact, helping restore braking feel and reduce squeal without machining new components.

How do these pads reduce noise compared with standard replacements?

The QuietCast pads use Bosch’s Molded Shim Technology (MST) and OE-style multilayer rubber-core shims that are bonded to the pad backing to minimize vibration and squeal. Combined with precision chamfers and slots, the system reduces harsh contact events that cause noise.

• Molded Shim Technology for secure rubber-to-steel bonding
• Pre-attached multilayer shims to dampen vibrations
• Chamfers and slots that prevent edge chattering
• Factory-like fit to lower resonance and ringing

What performance can I expect from the ceramic friction material?

Bosch formulated the ceramic compound to deliver consistent stopping force across a broad range of temperatures while producing less brake dust than many semi-metallic pads. The result is dependable deceleration with cleaner wheels and more predictable pedal feel during everyday driving.

• Ceramic formula for steady friction and responsive braking
• Low-dust characteristics to keep wheel faces cleaner
• Balanced fade resistance for normal road use
• Engineered for smooth engagement and reduced bedding time

How does Bosch address longevity and corrosion protection?

The backing plates are finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat to help resist rust and maintain pad integrity over time. In addition, the set includes a small tube of synthetic lubricant to reduce wear at sliding contact points, helping parts move freely and prolonging component life.

• Powder-coated backing plates for rust resistance
• Included synthetic lubricant to protect caliper slides
• Durable bonding of shim to plate for long-term strength
• OE-style construction to maintain correct pad-to-rotor interaction

Which vehicles will these rear pads fit and what’s included?

The BC1761 rear pad set fits a range of Audi and Volkswagen models across several model years; however, trim level and specific engine options may affect compatibility. Each kit supplies pads for one axle (two wheels), and where applicable, Bosch provides the required hardware and lubricant so you can complete a direct replacement.

• Fits select Audi models such as A3, Q3, TT and related performance trims
• Compatible with select Volkswagen models including Golf, Jetta, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon, Taos
• Includes pads for one axle, hardware kit when applicable, and lubricant
• Always verify fitment for your exact year/trim before purchase

Who is this for: The BOSCH BC1761 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pad set is aimed at drivers of compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles who want an aftermarket pad that closely matches OEM fit and braking behavior, reduces noise and wheel dust, and includes corrosion protection and installation-ready hardware. Choose these pads if you prefer a dependable ceramic compound with engineered noise control and factory-style durability for routine driving and light spirited use.
