Each kit supplies the pads for one axle (two wheels), plus hardware where applicable and synthetic lubricant to improve caliper slide performance. These pads are designed for a precise fit on select Hyundai and Kia models — always confirm vehicle fitment before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads reduce noise during braking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QuietCast line uses Bosch's pre-attached multilayer rubber core shims and MST to form a durable, vibration-damping bond between the friction material and steel backing. That engineered interface lessens harmonic vibration transmitted to the caliper and wheel, which cuts down audible squeal and squeak without adding complexity to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded Shim Technology provides a factory-style rubber-to-steel bond.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-attached multilayer shims reduce vibration and resonance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOE-style slots and chamfers further minimize uneven wear and noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat performance should I expect in stopping power and dust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBosch formulates the ceramic friction to offer dependable deceleration across common driving conditions, emphasizing progressive pedal feel and predictable initial bite.
