Bosch Disc Brake Pads BC1698 Rear QuietCast Ceramic Replacement Pads — Low Dust, Low Noise

Bosch Disc Brake Pads BC1698 are rear QuietCast ceramic replacement pads designed to deliver OE-style stopping performance, low noise, and reduced dust for one axle (two wheels).

These QuietCast pads are engineered from Bosch's long history in braking systems and combine ceramic friction material with Molded Shim Technology (MST) and corrosion-resistant backing plates. The result is a direct-fit rear pad set that includes hardware where applicable and synthetic lubricant to ease installation and reduce slider friction. Verify vehicle fitment for trim and engine variations using the fit checker before purchase.

How do these pads reduce noise and vibration?

Bosch QuietCast pads use multilayer rubber-core shims pre-attached to the backing plate, which dampens vibrations and minimizes squeal. Molded Shim Technology ensures a durable bond between rubber and steel, keeping the noise-reducing components intact under repeated use.

• Pre-attached OE-style multilayer rubber core shims for consistent damping
• Molded Shim Technology (MST) to prevent shim separation and rattle
• Chamfers and slots designed to reduce edge chatter and harmonics

What performance and durability features does the BC1698 offer?

The BC1698 pads use a Bosch-formulated ceramic friction compound that balances reliable stopping power with low dust and consistent pedal feel. Powder-coated backing plates resist rust and corrosion, helping the pads last longer and maintain fitment integrity.

• Ceramic friction material for steady braking and low rotor staining
• Powder-coated steel backing for improved corrosion resistance
• OE-style slots and chamfers to preserve pad wear patterns and fit

What’s included in the box and how easy is installation?

Each BC1698 kit contains brake pads for one axle (two wheels), plus any applicable hardware and a synthetic lubricant to reduce resistance on sliding contact points. The pads are engineered for direct replacement where specified, meaning installation follows standard rear pad replacement procedures.

• Complete set for one axle (two wheels)
• Hardware kit included when required by application
• Synthetic lubricant supplied to ease slider movement and prevent binding

Which vehicles are compatible with these rear pads?

BC1698 fits select rear applications across Asian, domestic, and European models. Compatibility is influenced by model year, trim level, and engine; always confirm with the vehicle fit checker or OEM part cross-reference before ordering.

• Examples: Acura MDX (2017–2020), RLX (2014–2020), TLX (2015–2020)
• Also fits select Honda Odyssey rear applications (2018–2020)
• Trim level and engine variants may change fitment—verify fitment details

Who is this for: Drivers and technicians seeking a high-quality, OE-aligned rear pad replacement that prioritizes quiet operation, low dust, and corrosion resistance. BC1698 is well suited for owners of compatible Acura and Honda models who want a direct-fit ceramic option from a reputable braking manufacturer, as well as DIYers and service shops replacing one axle’s pads with included hardware and lubricant.
