## Description

Product Description               Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic, and European vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components.

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).                  .com               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. Bosch introduced Antilock Braking technology to market, as well as Electronic Stability Control systems. Now Bosch brings over 70 years of OE braking expertise to the aftermarket with Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Pads.  Quiet operation and reliable braking performance QuietCast raises aftermarket brake pad technology to a whole new level. Employing the industry’s best pre-attached, rubber core shims and Molded Shim Technology (on selected applications); QuietCast delivers the quiet operation you expect with the durability and long life that are the hallmarks of all Bosch products.

Industry-leading materials with Molded Shim Technology Click to view largerThe Complete Brake Pad SolutionThere’s more to value than just a good price. Value also includes quality, extensive coverage, reliable supply and manufacturer support. And that’s just what you get with Bosch. The QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Pad program offers top quality, availability, competitive pricing and full coverage for all makes and models of Domestic, Asian and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs. Formulations include platform-specific ceramic, semi-metallic and non-asbestos organic (NAO). The Science Behind the SilenceEvery Bosch QuietCast Disc Brake Pad is fitted with the industry’s best pre-attached rubber core shim. This shim style is the most predominant type used by OE manufacturers and is exclusively offered by Bosch for the independent aftermarket.The laminated rubber-core shim is heat and pressure cured between two layers of steel (see Figure 1, opposite page). This process ensures the highest quality bonding of the rubber to steel resulting in lower noise, increased strength, and corrosion resistance. Sound vibrations pass through the friction material and backing plate, but are dissipated by the unique rubber core in the shim for remarkable noise dampening.About Molded Shim Technology (MST)At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure mold the multi-layer shim to the backing plate and friction material creating an integrally molded unit. The shim stays attached throughout the life of the pad; it won’t walk or slide on the backing plate, providing maximum stability resulting in quieter shim performance over the life of the pad.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not well assembled and didn't fit well.
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018*

Installed these on a 2004 VW Beetle GLS. Pads were not packed well; the inner box had opened during shipping. One of the springs had popped off of the top of the pad and another was very loose and would easily pop out when handled. I'm expecting the pressure from the caliper bracket to keep them in place. When I was installing them, the anti-rattle plates kept popping off...PITA. Also, couldn't use the new metal caliper clips since the tab in the middle of the clip was too wide to fit the calipers (original VW). I double checked the application to make sure that I ordered the right pads for this car, and they were. Won't buy these again.

Pads had correct fit and are working well. Grease pack was a bit so buy more before you install.
