FAQs

Does this set include a wear warning contact?

No, this specific part is engineered for Brembo brake systems.

What is the thickness of these pads?

These pads have a thickness of 8.9 mm.

Are these pads R90 compliant?

How heavy is the brake pad set?

Troubleshooting

Squealing noise during light braking

Ensure that anti-rattle clips are correctly seated and that the back of the pads have been treated with appropriate brake grease.

Brake pedal feels spongy

This is likely due to air in the hydraulic lines or improperly bled calipers; check your brake fluid levels and system integrity.

Uneven pad wear

Check that the caliper slide pins are properly lubricated and moving freely; stuck pins often cause one pad to wear faster than the other.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets rigorous OE performance standards
  • Direct fit for specific Brembo systems
  • Certified with R90 homologation
  • Lightweight and durable material composition

Cons

  • No provision for wear warning contacts
  • Rear-fitment only, not interchangeable with front pads
  • Requires manual pad wear monitoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the FDB1983 set. Since these pads lack a wear warning contact sensor, ensure that the existing vehicle harness is secured safely away from the caliper movement area during installation.

  1. Preparation: Clean the brake caliper carrier thoroughly to remove dust and debris.
  2. Installation: Apply high-temperature brake grease only to the pad backing plate contact points (avoid getting grease on the pad surface or rotor).
  3. Compatibility: Verify that your vehicle is equipped with the compatible Brembo braking system before attempting installation.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the pad thickness visually through the wheel spokes, as the vehicle will not alert you when the pads reach their minimum service life.
