The new part numbers fit a host of popular domestic and import applications including 2012 models, enabling parts stores and auto repair shops to meet the needs of their customers, and assuring DIYers that the brakes they need are readily available, according to Bosch.
New coverage includes recent models of:

In addition to expanded market coverage, Bosch has introduced its new 2012 catalog for QuietCast disc brake pads, available immediately.

Bosch QuietCast disc brake pads feature application-specific friction material carefully formulated and integrally molded. QuietCast brake pads offer platform-specific ceramic, semi-metallic and non-asbestos organic (NAO) formulations, selected to match OE friction type for the 95 percent coverage offered for Asian, Domestic and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs throughout the United States and Canada. A key feature of QuietCast disc brake pads is vulcanized rubber-core shims, and many configurations include Molded Shim Technology (MST), exclusive to Bosch QuietCast, which adds long-lasting anti-squeal characteristics to the platform-specific friction formulations, the company says.
