BOSCH BC1293 QuietCast Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

powerful stopping and quiet, seemingly low dust so far no fitment issues 2012 camry note this set does not include the pad spreaders. I can’t speak for the included hardware, I don’t remember if I used it or not

So it took me 2 hours to do all 4 wheels, because it was my first time. Watch a video, and do the bare minimum of disassembly! You should be able to rotate the calipers out after removing just ONE bolt. Also, unless your brakes are in bad condition, you can actually push the pistons back in by hand, after putting on the new pads. (I didn't have to uncap the brake fluid reservoir, but then again mine was not full to the brim either.) But don't rely on it! Borrow a clamp from someone. If your parking brake is loose, now is the time! There is a small rubber plug on the rear rotors, take it out, using a flashlight find the little "tooth" gear/cog, and turn it up with a screwdriver until the parking brake pads barely touch. Look it up, it's not hard, just finicky. Do both. Also, the cable adjustment for the parking brake is at the parking brake pedal, you need to stick your head down under the steering column, pretty easy. You may need a wrench (plain old one) to hold the counter-nut to the caliper bolt. It's 17mm for the front, smaller on the rear but I didn't need one there so I don't know. Some other way of holding it would also work. The Avalon DOES HAVE lift points for a floor jack. The front one is easy, between the wheel, IT LOOKS LIKE A PIMPLE WITH A HOLE. It kind of sticks down from the chassis. The rear one is between where the dual exhaust splits, but it's pretty far forward and my jack couldn't reach, so I did the rears one wheel at a time. To put the new pads in, you'll likely need to stick your head well into the wheel well to see from the inside side, otherwise the pads catch on the new shims ("abutment clips"). You did use the new provided clips, right? Right?! Anyway, with your head so far in, make sure your car is on stands, not on the jack, and stick the wheel that you took off under the frame just in case. As the great Haynes repair manuals used to say, "Installation is the reverse of removal." Good luck. PS. The pads are great.

I purchased these based on the amount of satisfied users. I installed theses with the matching quiet cast rotors. (Bought separately ) and I have 0 issues. No brake dust. Completely silent & I’m stopping on a dime. Will come back to check on durability. For the price I paid I don’t see myself choosing a different company other than Bosch for my es350/Camry

I received a used and returned item where the clips plastic packaging are already opened and missing few clips. Clips were dirty greased. I ended up reusing the old clips. The brake pads appears to be unused and fits on my Lexus es350. Feedback to the seller to double check to not ship used opened product. I like BOSCH brands so I rate this 4 star for the shipping used item.

These were installed on a 2015 Toyota Camry. The previous brake pads still had a little life on them but were starting to squeal. I went with these because of my experience with the Bosch product line and the overall reviews. I also went with this set because it included the hardware kit. I like to get in there and clean and replace everything at one shot. I did not use their lubricant as I had my own. I suggest you make sure you lubricate the ears and shim, where the caliper touches. I also lubricated the hardware and caliper pins. This is a great product, no squeaks, great stopping power. +Price +Quality +Easy to install +Value +No noise -Could've included a bit more grease Bottom line: Buy with confidence. These are nice alternatives to the very expensive OEM options. I would recommend and purchase this product again. Hope you find this review helpful.

No problems

Did not fit 2011 Camry. Wire brushed and filed caliper bracket. Length of new pads is too long to fit bracket. Called Bosch and verified correct stock numbers. Bosch had no answer other than I may have gotten a bad one. Also, the wear clips did not have the proper shape to fit without hitting caliper bracket. Returned item.

Great pads and last long time, I am using this brand for decades , compatible with Toyota cars and good prices compared to other brands

Bosch QuiteCast are good brakes. No noise and not that much dust. Very consistent. Have used them multiple times. Strongly recommend Ceramic pads.

fonctionne bien

It’s great, although there are some higher‑quality choices available elsewhere.

Good product and no squeal.

Was hesitant at first on these pads. But they work really well. Great construction and hardware included. They stop better than the oem Toyota pads. Will buy again.
