See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

• Consistent pedal feel: Designed to deliver a steady pedal and superb brake response.
• Axle-specific formulation: DFC formulates the friction for each axle on every vehicle, drawing on selected original equipment manufacturer formulations.
• Long pad wear, rotor friendly: The ceramic compound is made for long pad wear and is gentle on the rotors.
• Made for modern systems: Selected friction materials are designed to meet the demands of modern vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems.

This disc brake pad set sits in the rear caliper and presses against the rotor to slow the wheel when you apply the brakes. If you are planning a 2008 Ford Taurus rear brake pad replacement, signs the pads may need attention include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances and visibly thin friction material. Diagnose the cause first, inspect the rotors at the same time, and replace the pads on both rear wheels together for even, balanced braking.
