Collection: Brake pads

Brake pads – how to choose the right pads for your car?

Brake pads work with brake discs to slow a vehicle. This category includes front and rear axle pads for many models, including TRW, MEYLE and MaXgear. The right choice depends on the brake system version, not just the vehicle name.

How to check compatibility

Compare the OE number, installation axle, caliper type, disc size, model year, engine and equipment. Check the wear sensor and what is included in the set. The same vehicle model can have different braking systems.

When should brake pads be replaced?

Check friction material thickness, evenness of wear and brake disc condition. Noise, reduced braking performance or a wear warning call for inspection; they do not always mean the pads alone are faulty.

After installation

Replace pads as an axle set in accordance with the instructions, inspect the caliper and follow the bedding-in procedure. See also brake discs and brake fluids.
