## Overview

The Bosch BP493 QuietCast Premium Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set delivers OE-level braking performance with industry-leading durability and noise reduction. Engineered with proprietary Molded Shim Technology and corrosion-resistant backing plates, these pads provide exceptional stopping power and a whisper-quiet ride. Compatible with select BMW and Land Rover models, the set includes all necessary hardware and lubricant for a professional-grade installation.

## 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 superior corrosion resistance. The proprietary Semi-Metallic friction material is meticulously engineered to achieve superior 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).

Review: I was a little skeptical, because I normally buy my pads from dealer. The way these brakes pads stop, are superb! Especially the way I push my Whip!!! Very smooth, and no vibration.
Review: The brake pads fit, but they have the wrong sensor type. The 1995 Audi a6 quattro has a round plug for a sensor for the front passenger and front driver side brake pads. This Bosch BP228 set only has ONE sensor on one side, and it is a SQUARE plug. Unfortunately, I had to install these today anyway, because I am about to drive about 2000 miles and I needed new brakes. I can't return them, so I will probably have to just throw them away and replace them with a real OEM set when I get back from my trip.
