Volvo Brake Kit - Akebono 31341243CKT

• Position: Front and Rear
• For front wheel drive models only (FWD)
• Volvo Size Designation: 16in
• Actual Disc Brake Rotor Diameter in Millimeters: Front 302mm Rear 295mm
• Brake Rotor Features: Anti-corrosion coating on non-friction surfaces
• Brake Pad Type: Ceramic
• Includes .5oz high-temp silicone ceramic brake parts lubricant
• There are two different size rotors available for some of the vehicles listed in the fitment guide, they can be differentiated by visual inspection. This rotor has an open venting gap on the REAR of the rotor, and therefore has no physical vent opening/gap in the front between the rotor face and hat. The other size (31262095) has an open venting gap on the front between the rotor hat and rotor face.

The brake pads in this kit are Ceramic. The main benefit of using a ceramic pad compound is that it produces less brake dust compared to a semi-metallic pad without sacrificing overall braking power. These pads will have less initial bite than a semi-metallic compound, but produce significantly less dust and have better temperature fade resistance in performance driving situations.

Benefits:

• Great stopping power in critical braking situations
• Super low dusting and precision fit
• Improved pad wear performance over semi-metallic pads
• Reduced rotor wear
• Ultra-quiet, positive, smooth braking performance
• High resistance to fade with fast recovery
• Consistent pedal feel

Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

The brake pads in this kit are Semi-Metallic. The main benefit of using a semi-metallic pad is that it provides the best initial braking force, which is why Volvo uses semi-metallic compound brake pads from the factory. Semi metallic pads are perfect for daily driving, vehicles that are driven in cities, or in traffic. If you have a problem with brake dust, don’t fret. We carry high quality wheel cleaner spray in stock!

Benefits:

• The best stopping power in critical braking situations
• Good pad wear performance compared to ceramic
• High friction for standard rotor wear
• Quiet, smooth braking performance
• Standard resistance to fade caused by high heat/performance driving
• OE pedal feel
• Moderate dusting and precision fit
