## Description

Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic, and European vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components. That's because Bosch has been a key player in the braking industry since applying for its first brake system design patent in 1936. The Bosch QuietCast line draws on this robust experience to deliver OE quality performance, industry-leading strength and durability, and exclusive innovations including Molded Shim Technology (MST). QuietCast pads feature the industry's best pre-attached OE style multilayer rubber core shims, ensuring the highest quality bond between rubber and steel, for lower noise, increased strength, and exemplary corrosion resistance. The proprietary Semi-Metallic friction material is meticulously engineered to achieve robust performance, exceptional stopping power, and quiet operation with low dust. Corrosion and rust resistant powder-coated backing plates deliver increased product life. OE style slots and chamfers ensure premium quality, fit, and function. Set includes pads for 1 axle (2 wheels), hardware kit (where available), and synthetic lubricant for reduced resistance on sliding contact points. Compatible with select vehicles (Note: vehicle trim level may affect fitment - verify specific vehicle fitment details with fit checker above).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these come with the wear-sensors? The picture would indicate yes, but no mention of them in the description.**
A: Yes, they do, and it's a set of 4 pads. Amazon needs to update the info.

**Q: Do I have to buy additional brake pad sensor?**
A: The front comes with sensors and the rear do not. Only the rear brake pads needs sensors. One per rear pad.

**Q: How many pads in this item. If i want to replace my rear two side pads, how many item should i order?**
A: This is for the whole rear axle. 4 pads comes with this kit.

**Q: so would this be ok for rear replacement pads for a 08 porsche cayenne?**
A: I don't know if they will fit but I would look at something else.  I replaced all the pads on my 2011 Q7 with this brand and totally regret it.  Should have gone with the OEM or something else.  My wife even notices the difference and has been asking me to replace them. You will definitely notice the lack of braking force with these pads.
