Brake Pad for 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery & More - Bosch BP493

The Bosch BP493 brake pad for the 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery and other vehicles is a semi-metallic pad set that clamps against the rotor to slow the car, made for quiet stops and low brake dust.

• Bosch QuietCast brake pads use a patented copper-free friction formula with an advanced aerospace alloy, compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation.
• OE-style pre-attached multilayer rubber core shims bond rubber to steel for lower noise, more strength and corrosion resistance.
• PTFE and rubber coated hardware reduces vibration and noise and prevents binding to the caliper.
• The powder-coated backing plate prevents rust and corrosion for longer pad life.
• A protective transfer layer extends pad and rotor life.
• Synthetic lubricant is included to reduce resistance on sliding contact points.

Squealing, grinding or a longer stopping distance can mean the pads are worn. These signs alone don't prove the pads are the problem; a sticking caliper is another common cause.

The vehicles it fits include the 1997-2002 Land Rover Range Rover and the 1991-1992 BMW 325i, with one set per vehicle. If your car isn't named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
