Bosch QuietCast BP1456 Rear Semi‑Metallic Brake Pads — Axle Set for 272mm Rotors, Low Noise & Corrosion‑Resistant

BOSCH QuietCast BP1456 Rear semi‑metallic brake pads provide OE‑level stopping power, reduced noise, and long life for compatible rear 272mm rotors.

If you need a rear pad replacement that balances strong braking, quieter operation, and corrosion resistance, the QuietCast BP1456 is engineered for that role. Bosch applies decades of braking experience and proprietary construction to deliver pads that match original equipment form, fit, and function for many Asian, domestic, and European models. These pads come as a complete axle set with hardware where available and include lubricant to ease installation and promote smooth caliper movement.

How do these pads reduce noise and vibration?

The BP1456 uses Bosch Molded Shim Technology with a multilayer rubber‑core shim pre‑attached to the steel backing plate. That engineered bond dampens vibration and prevents rattling while helping maintain a consistent mating surface under braking.

• Pre‑attached OE‑style multilayer rubber core shim for superior damping
• Precision fit with chamfers and slots to reduce edge lift and squeal
• Balanced semi‑metallic formulation to minimize harshness without sacrificing performance

What performance and durability features should I expect?

Bosch formulates the semi‑metallic friction material for strong, repeatable stopping while limiting dust and wear. The powder‑coated backing plate guards against rust and corrosion to extend service life, and OE‑style slots and chamfers promote predictable bedding and even pad wear.

• Semi‑metallic compound tuned for consistent stopping and longevity
• Powder‑coated backing plate resists corrosion in wet climates
• Slots and chamfers designed for cleaner contact and even wear

Will these pads fit my vehicle and what’s included?

BP1456 fits vehicles equipped with Bosch calipers and 272 mm (10.7 in) rear rotors; trim level can affect compatibility so confirm fitment before purchasing. Each package supplies two wheels’ worth of pads (one axle), plus a hardware kit when applicable and a small tube of synthetic lubricant for sliding surfaces.

• Fits rear axle with 272mm rotors and Bosch calipers — verify rotor diameter
• Includes pad set for one axle (2 wheels) and installation lubricant
• Hardware kit included where applicable for straightforward replacement

How do these differ from generic or budget pads?

QuietCast leverages Bosch’s OE heritage and testing to control material composition, shim bonding, and backing plate protection, which reduces noise and improves longevity compared with many aftermarket budget pads. The combined package targets a balance of braking power, refinement, and resistance to corrosion.

• OE‑style engineering and controlled manufacturing tolerances
• Pre‑attached multilayer shim for consistent noise control
• Durability features like powder coating and designed slots/chamfers

Who is this for: The BOSCH QuietCast BP1456 is aimed at drivers who want a direct replacement pad with OE‑inspired engineering — particularly owners of compatible Audi, Volkswagen, and other vehicles with Bosch calipers and 272mm rear rotors. It’s suitable for everyday street driving where quieter stops, low dust, and longer pad life matter, and for DIYers or professional installers who prefer parts that come ready with necessary hardware and lubricant. Always verify rotor diameter and caliper compatibility for your specific model prior to purchase.
