Bosch Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:BC1340
Quiet, confident stops start with the Bosch QuietCast Disc Brake Pad Set BC1340, a front-axle friction set that serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2009 Mercedes-Benz C230, 2010-2015 Mercedes-Benz C250, 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz C300, and 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK250. Bosch engineers rigorously formulate and test the QuietCast friction material, using an advanced aerospace alloy in a patented copper-free ceramic and semi-metallic formula that meets 2025 copper-free legislation.
- OE-style rubber-core shims: pre-attached multilayer shims bond rubber to steel for lower noise, added strength, and corrosion resistance.
- PTFE & rubber-coated hardware: helps reduce vibration and noise while preventing the pads from binding to the caliper.
- Powder-coated backing plate: guards against rust and corrosion for longer pad life.
- Protective transfer layer: designed to extend pad and rotor life.
Synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to reduce resistance on sliding contact points. Worn pads may show up as squealing, reduced braking bite, or a pedal that needs more travel; if worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. For even, balanced braking, it's best practice to service both sides of the axle together as a matched set. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the BC1340 pad set fit?
It's a direct-fit front pad set for the 2008-2009 Mercedes-Benz C230, 2010-2015 C250, 2008-2012 C300, and 2012-2015 SLK250. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
This is a front disc brake pad set for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications.
Does this set include hardware and lubricant?
Yes. It features PTFE and rubber-coated hardware, and synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to reduce resistance on the sliding contact points.
What friction material is used?
Bosch uses an advanced aerospace alloy in a patented copper-free ceramic and semi-metallic formula that complies with 2025 copper-free legislation, rigorously formulated and tested by Bosch engineers.
Should I replace both sides at once?
For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set rather than one wheel at a time.
