• High‑Performance Friction Compound: Combines ceramic and metallic particles to achieve low noise, reduced wear, and reliable heat dissipation.
• Extended Service Life: Optimized pad thickness and material blend extend the life of both pads and rotors compared to standard aftermarket options.
• Low Dust Generation: Advanced formulation minimizes brake dust, keeping wheels cleaner for longer periods.
• Consistent Braking Feel: Smooth pedal response with minimal vibration or pulsation during hard stops.
• Compatibility: Fits a broad spectrum of models including CITROËN, PEUGEOT, RENAULT, and many other front‑wheel vehicles that use the 36580 specification.

Technical Specifications

Vehicle Compatibility

The ABS 36580 Brake Pads are specifically tailored for rear disc brake systems on a variety of front‑wheel vehicles. Common models include:

• CITROËN Saxo, C4, C5, DS3, DS4
• PEUGEOT 206, 307, 406, 508
• RENAULT Clio, Megane, Scenic, Captur
• Additional models such as the XSARA, ZX, 306, 205, 106, and many others that share the 36580 rear brake pad specification.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the front wheels.
2. Remove the Wheel: Use a lug wrench or impact gun to loosen and remove the rear wheel.
3. Inspect Rotors: Check for scoring or excessive wear; clean with a non‑abrasive brush if necessary.
4. Detach Old Pads: Release the caliper piston using a C‑bit socket or brake caliper tool, then remove the old pads from the caliper bracket.
5. Install New Pads: Slide the ABS 36580 Brake Pads into place, ensuring proper orientation of the wear indicator tabs.
6. Re‑install Caliper and Wheel: Reattach the caliper, torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications, and lower the vehicle.
7. Brake Fluid Check: Verify fluid level in the master cylinder; top up if needed with DOT 4 or compatible brake fluid.
8. Break‑In Procedure: Perform a gentle braking cycle at low speed for the first 50 km to allow pads to seat properly.

Performance Benefits

When paired with compatible rotors, the ABS 36580 Brake Pads provide:

• Superior Stopping Distance: Reduced distance compared to many aftermarket alternatives.
• Heat Management: Maintains consistent braking performance during prolonged use or high‑speed driving.
• Reduced Fade: Less prone to brake fade under heavy load, ensuring reliable stopping power in emergency situations.
• Quiet Operation: Minimal squeal or grinding noise, enhancing overall driving comfort.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect pads for wear; replace when thickness falls below the manufacturer’s minimum.
• Keep rotors clean and free of debris to prevent uneven pad wear.
• Avoid riding brakes on hot surfaces, as this can accelerate pad degradation.
• Use a high‑quality brake cleaner during routine maintenance to remove dust buildup.
