BOSCH BC1281 QuietCast Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set – Compatible with Select Acura MDX, ZDX; Honda Odyssey, Pilot; REAR

Why Choose Bosch QuietCast?

Bosch didn’t just throw ceramic material on a backing plate and call it a day. The QuietCast line is engineered for:

• Consistent braking performance
• Minimal noise and vibration
• Cleaner wheels (less dust)

Basically, everything your factory pads promised… and then forgot about after 20k miles.

Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic, and European vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components. That’s because Bosch has been a key player in the braking industry since applying for its first brake system design patent in 1936. The Bosch QuietCast line draws on this robust experience to deliver OE quality performance, industry-leading strength and durability, and exclusive innovations including Molded Shim Technology (MST).

Vehicle Fitment (Rear Pads)

Compatible with select models including:

Acura:

• MDX
• ZDX

Honda:

• Odyssey
• Pilot

(Always verify year and trim—because Honda/Acura loves variations.)

QuietCast pads feature the industry’s best pre-attached OE style multilayer rubber core shims, ensuring the highest quality bond between rubber and steel, for lower noise, increased strength, and superior corrosion resistance.

What They’re Not Built For

• Anyone tired of noisy, dusty rear brakes

If you want your brakes to work quietly in the background—this is it.

Installation Notes

• Direct replacement for factory rear pads
• Hardware included
• Recommended break-in (bed-in) procedure

(Pro tip: Proper bed-in = quieter brakes and longer life. Skip it and enjoy squeaks.)
