Why do electric and hybrid vehicles need different brake pads?

Electric and hybrid vehicles have different braking characteristics compared to conventional cars due to regenerative braking. This means the pads need a specific friction formulation to perform optimally and handle the unique demands of these powertrains.

What is the purpose of the unique shim included with these pads?

The unique shim is designed to further accommodate the specific braking requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles. It helps to reduce noise and vibration, ensuring a smoother and more consistent braking experience tailored for these types of cars.

Are these pads suitable for everyday driving?

Yes, the DBA Street Series brake pads are designed for everyday driving. They offer a good balance between the specific performance needs of electric and hybrid vehicles and the comfort and consistency expected for daily use.

Product Details

When you're working on an electric or hybrid vehicle, you'll notice they have different braking needs than traditional gas cars. That's because the way they slow down and regenerate energy changes how the brakes are used. DBA developed their Street Series brake pads with this in mind, creating a specific formulation to handle those unique demands.

These rear brake pads use an EV-specific friction material that's designed to work well with the way electric and hybrid systems operate. They also come with a new, unique shim that helps to further accommodate those specific braking requirements. This means you get consistent performance tailored for these modern vehicles.

This set fits a range of popular vehicles, including the 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, 2011-2012 Scion xB, and 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla. If you're looking for rear brake pads that are made to handle the specific characteristics of electric and hybrid braking, these DBA pads are a solid option.
