Bosch QuietCast Rear Ceramic Brake Pads BC1879 - OE Fit, Low Dust & Quiet

BOSCH QuietCast BC1879 rear ceramic disc brake pads are a complete OE-style pad set engineered for quiet braking, low dust, and long service life for compatible rear axles.

Built from Bosch's decades of braking experience, the BC1879 set pairs a formulated ceramic friction compound with Bosch's Molded Shim Technology and corrosion-resistant backing plates. The result is replacement rear pads designed to match or exceed original equipment fit and function while minimizing noise and brake dust. The package includes pads for one axle (two wheels), plus hardware and lubricant where applicable to simplify installation and reduce sliding resistance at contact points.

How do these pads reduce noise during braking?

The QuietCast line focuses on vibration control and sound dampening to reduce audible brake squeal. Bosch uses a pre-attached multilayer rubber-core shim system molded to the steel plate to absorb vibration between the pad and caliper. Combined with a ceramic friction formulation, this approach lowers noise without sacrificing braking feel.

• Molded Shim Technology (MST) binds rubber to steel for consistent dampening.
• Multi-layer shims reduce harmonic vibrations that cause squeal.
• Ceramic compound helps produce quieter friction characteristics.

What performance and durability features are included?

BC1879 pads use a ceramic friction material engineered for stable stopping performance and reduced dust generation. Backing plates are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, improving longevity in wet and salty conditions. Precision slots and chamfers maintain consistent pad wear and ensure reliable fitment in OE-style calipers.

• Ceramic friction material for steady performance and low dust.
• Powder-coated steel backing plates to prevent corrosion.
• OE-style slots and chamfers for controlled wear and fitment.

What comes in the box and how easy is installation?

The rear axle kit includes the two brake pads needed for one axle. Where applicable, Bosch provides a hardware kit and a small tube of synthetic lubricant to reduce drag on sliding contact points. The pads are supplied with pre-attached OE-style shims, which eliminates separate shim installation and speeds up the replacement process.

• Pads for one rear axle (two wheels) included in the set.
• Hardware kit included where specified for a more complete install.
• Synthetic lubricant provided to ease caliper sliding points and noise.

Which vehicles are compatible with the BC1879 rear pad set?

This pad set fits a range of select Asian, domestic, and European models; compatibility is often trim- and engine-dependent. Common vehicle matches include various Lexus and Toyota models from recent model years. Always confirm fitment with the vehicle-specific fit checker before ordering to ensure correct application.

• Common matches include Lexus ES, RX, UX and Toyota Camry, RAV4, Venza, Avalon, Prius, and Corolla Cross for select years.
• Trim level and engine options may change fitment—verify with fitment tool.
• Designed to meet OE-style form, fit, and function for compatible vehicles.

Who is this for: Bosch QuietCast BC1879 rear ceramic pads are aimed at drivers who want an OE-quality replacement that emphasizes quiet operation, minimal brake dust, and corrosion resistance. They suit owners of compatible Lexus and Toyota models (and select other vehicles) who prefer a ready-to-install pad set that includes shims, and where available, hardware and lubricant to streamline servicing.
