FAQs

What does ECE-R90 certification mean for these brake pads?

ECE-R90 certification is a European standard that means these brake pads have been tested and meet or exceed the performance (braking effectiveness, temperature, etc.) of the original equipment (OE) brake pads for the vehicles they are designed for.

How do I know if these pads fit my car?

You must use the vehicle make and model selection tool provided, or cross-reference the part number (0986494253) and the extensive list of cross-references with your vehicle's specifications. These pads are listed for specific Lexus and Toyota models.

What is the benefit of a low-metallic material composition?

Low-metallic brake pads generally offer a good balance of performance, durability, and quieter operation compared to some other materials. They are designed for consistent braking across a range of temperatures.

Do I need to perform a bedding-in procedure?

Yes, a proper bedding-in procedure is recommended after installation to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and to prevent issues like brake judder. Follow the specific instructions provided by Bosch or your vehicle's manufacturer.

Are these pads suitable for all braking conditions?

These pads are designed for general use and meet ECE-R90 standards, indicating reliable performance for everyday driving. For extreme performance or track use, specialized brake pads may be required.

What is the thickness of these brake pads?

The dimensions of these rear brake pads are 58.4 mm in height, 88.3 mm in width, and 15.5 mm in thickness.

Where can I find alternative part numbers for this set?

The product description includes a comprehensive list of cross-references from other manufacturers like APEC, ATE, Brembo, Delphi, and Ferodo, among others.

Troubleshooting

Brake Squealing

Ensure proper installation and bedding-in procedures. Check for rotor surface issues or contamination. Anti-squeal shims, if included, should be correctly installed. Persistent squealing may require professional inspection.

Reduced Braking Performance

Verify correct pad fitment. Check rotor condition and surface for glazing or damage. Ensure the brake system is free of leaks and the brake fluid is at the proper level. Bed-in the new pads according to manufacturer instructions.

Pads Not Seating Correctly

Double-check vehicle compatibility. Ensure caliper hardware and mounting points are clean and free of rust or debris. Verify that the correct pad part number for the specific axle (rear) is being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is essential to use the provided make and model tool to confirm this brake pad set is compatible with your specific vehicle. This set is listed for Lexus IS II, IS220d Mk2, IS200d Mk2, and GS430 models, and replaces part number 0986494253.

Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic following vehicle manufacturer guidelines. Proper bedding-in procedures, as recommended by Bosch or the vehicle manufacturer, should be followed after installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Care: Brake pads are wear items and require periodic inspection. Visually check the pad thickness during regular maintenance. If any unusual noises (e.g., grinding, squealing) occur during braking, or if braking performance feels compromised, the brake system should be inspected by a professional immediately. Cleanliness of the brake system components is important for performance; ensure rotors are clean and free of debris.
