Ceramic Brake Pads

The DBA DB1451SS SS Street Series Brake Pads are a set of rear brake pads designed to provide enhanced braking performance for a range of vehicles. Manufactured by Disc Brakes Australia (DBA), these pads are crafted with a ceramic friction material and a post-cured surface for durability and consistent performance. Engineered as a direct replacement for OE (Original Equipment) brake pads, the DB1451SS series aims to exceed standard braking capabilities. The ceramic compound is chosen for its ability to handle increased heat and stress generated during demanding braking situations, ensuring reliable stopping power. The pads are also slotted, which can contribute to better initial effectiveness and reduced bed-in time when used with compatible rotors. These brake pads are designed with specific dimensions for a precise fit, including an inner and outer pad height of 40.8 mm, an overall thickness of 14.8 mm, and a width of 98.8 mm. The set includes four pads and necessary shims for proper installation. DBA recommends pairing these pads with their STREET SERIES plain or T2 slotted disc rotors for optimal performance and reduced bedding duration. Compatibility for the DB1451SS brake pads extends to various Hyundai and Kia models, including the 2006-2009 Hyundai Azera, 2007-2009 Hyundai Elantra, 2001-2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2002-2004 Hyundai Sonata, 2006-2008 Hyundai Sonata, 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, 2001 Hyundai XG300, 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350, 2004-2006 Kia Amanti, 2001-2010 Kia Optima, and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage. Specific fitment notes, such as rear disc applications or variations based on production dates and lug counts (e.g., 4-lug vs. 5-lug for the 2006 Kia Optima), should be carefully reviewed to ensure correct application for your vehicle.
