Bendix Ceramic Rear Brake Pads CFC996 — Rear OE-Fit Set for Lexus/Highlander, Low Dust & Included Hardware

Bendix Priority1 CFC996 ceramic rear brake pads are a direct-fit OE-style replacement designed to deliver quiet, consistent stopping for specified Lexus RX and Toyota Highlander models.

These Bendix Priority1 pads come as a complete rear set with installation hardware and are engineered to meet original equipment fit, form, and function. Constructed from a ceramic-based friction compound and sculpted with shims, slots, and chamfers, they aim to reduce noise and deliver reliable braking performance in everyday driving conditions. They are sized specifically for Lexus RX330 (2004–2006), RX350 (2007–2009), RX400h (2006–2008), and Toyota Highlander (2004–2007).

Will these pads fit my Lexus or Highlander without modifications?

Yes — Bendix Priority1 CFC996 pads are manufactured to OE specifications for a bolt-in replacement. Their backing plates and pad geometry match factory dimensions so you won’t need adapters or modifications.

• Direct-fit rear pad set for listed Lexus and Toyota model years
• Includes installation hardware for a complete rear-job swap
• Backed by Bendix engineering to align with factory caliper and rotor interfaces

How do these ceramic pads perform compared with standard replacements?

Ceramic formulations in the Priority1 line provide stable friction and produce less dust than many semi-metallic alternatives, helping keep wheels cleaner. They’re designed for consistent pedal feel across normal city and highway driving rather than race-level braking.

• Advanced ceramic friction for predictable stopping and lower dust
• Engineered to resist brake fade under typical consumer loads
• Shims and chamfers help minimize vibration and squeal for quieter operation

What features reduce noise and vibration during braking?

Bendix uses several design elements—precision shims, slots, and chamfered edges—to control pad-to-rotor interaction and dampen vibrations that cause noise. The composite backing plate and full hardware kit further stabilize the assembly for smoother operation.

• Bonded shims absorb and isolate vibration from the caliper
• Slots and chamfers reduce edge stress and help prevent squeal
• Included hardware ensures correct spring and guide positioning for noise control

How durable are these pads and what maintenance should I expect?

Bendix Priority1 pads are formulated for everyday durability and are industry-tested to meet or exceed performance standards for commuter vehicles. Longevity depends on driving habits and conditions; inspect pads during routine service intervals and replace them when thickness approaches manufacturer limits.

• Ceramic compound resists glazing under normal use
• Regular inspection recommended at each tire rotation or brake service
• Replace as a full axle set for balanced braking performance

Who is this for: These rear Bendix Priority1 CFC996 ceramic pads are aimed at owners of Lexus RX330, RX350, RX400h and Toyota Highlander models from the listed years who want a quiet, OE-compatible replacement that reduces dust and restores reliable everyday braking. They’re well suited for commuters and families seeking straightforward fitment, clean-looking wheels, and consistent pedal feel without moving up to heavy-duty or track-focused compounds.
