Bosch Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:BE1260B
Help keep stops smooth and controlled with a BOSCH brake pad designed for lower noise. Bosch part BE801H is a front pad set and a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Ford Contour, 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar and 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique.
Bosch draws on OE braking experience going back to 1927. Its engineers tailor the friction formulation to each vehicle platform and pair it with shims and a coating aimed at quiet, corrosion-resistant operation.
Brake pads may need replacing if you hear squealing or grinding when braking, notice longer stopping distances, or can see thin friction material. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause, and check the rotors while the wheels are off.
Fitment: 1998-2000 Ford Contour · 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar · 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

It is cataloged for the front position on the 1998-2000 Ford Contour, 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar and 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique.
What friction material does Bosch BE801H use?
Bosch lists platform-specific semi-metallic friction formulations for this pad. Bosch engineers developed and tested them for the application.
Does it come with brake lubricant?
Yes. Bosch includes synthetic lubricant with all applications to help reduce resistance on the sliding contact points.
What do the multi-layer shims do?
The pre-attached, OE-style multi-layer shims bond rubber and steel layers. They are designed to dampen noise and add strength and corrosion resistance.
What are signs my brake pads may need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or visibly thin friction material. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
