What is brake hardware and why do I need it?

Brake hardware includes small metal clips, springs, and pins that hold your brake pads in place within the caliper bracket. They ensure the pads are properly seated and can move freely, which is essential for quiet and effective braking.

Should I replace my brake hardware every time I change my brake pads?

It's highly recommended to replace your brake hardware whenever you replace your brake pads. The original hardware can become fatigued, corroded, or lose its tension over time, affecting brake performance and potentially causing noise.

Does this kit include everything needed for both front and rear brakes?

This kit is listed as 'Front/Rear Premium Hardware Kit,' indicating it contains the necessary components for both the front and rear brake pad installations on compatible vehicles.

Product Details

This DFC brake hardware kit includes the small but crucial pieces needed to properly install new brake pads. It's designed to fit a range of vehicles, including many Audi A4, A6, and TT Quattro models from the late 90s through the mid-2000s, as well as certain Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Without the correct clips and springs, your new pads might not seat correctly, leading to noise or uneven wear. This kit ensures you have the right components to get your brakes working as they should.

When you're replacing your brake pads, it's always a good idea to swap out the old hardware. The springs and clips can become fatigued or corroded over time, losing their ability to hold the pads firmly in place. This DFC kit uses well-built materials to replace those worn-out pieces, helping to prevent pad rattle and ensure consistent contact with the rotor. It's a simple step that makes a big difference in the overall performance and quietness of your braking system.
