Bosch Rear Ceramic Brake Pads Blue — Disc Pad Set with Hardware, OE-style quiet stopping

BOSCH BE1724H Blue Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pad Set provides OE-style ceramic friction, rust protection, and the hardware needed to replace pads on one axle.

Engineered for everyday drivers, Bosch Blue ceramic brake pads combine platform-specific friction compounds and multilayer shims to deliver quiet, consistent stops without the premium QuietCast price. These rear pads include the necessary hardware, a synthetic lubricant for sliding contact points, and arrive wrapped in a protective blue shop towel to keep components clean until installation.

How do these Bosch Blue pads reduce brake noise?

Noise reduction comes from multi-layer OE-style shims and precise pad geometry that damp vibrations transmitted to the caliper. The ceramic friction formulation also helps minimize harsh high-frequency sounds that some metallic pads produce.

• Original-equipment style multi-layer shim for vibration damping
• Ceramic friction material tuned for quieter engagement
• OE-inspired slots and chamfers to reduce uneven wear and squeal

Will these pads resist rust and corrosion over time?

Yes—steel backing plates are treated with a rust-inhibitive coating to slow corrosion that can degrade pads and cause noisy braking. That coating helps maintain fit and function in wet or salty conditions where untreated hardware may corrode faster.

• Rust-inhibitive coating applied to backing plates
• Helps preserve pad-to-caliper fit and consistent contact
• Reduces risk of pad degradation from surface corrosion

What comes in the box and is installation straightforward?

The set includes rear brake pads for one axle, the required hardware kit, and a packet of synthetic lubricant for sliding contact points. Pads arrive wrapped in a protective blue shop towel; while many owners can do the swap, some vehicles require specific tools or brake service mode for safe caliper piston retraction.

• Pads for one axle (two wheels) plus hardware kit included
• Protective blue shop towel keeps parts clean in the box
• Synthetic lubricant supplied for reduced friction at slide contacts

Are there vehicle fitment or special-service considerations?

Fitment is vehicle-specific—these rear pads fit select models such as Acura MDX (2014–2016) and certain Honda Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline years. Some cars use twist-in rear caliper pistons or have Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) systems that require service mode before piston retraction.

• Compatible with select Acura and Honda rear applications—verify fitment before purchase
• EPB-equipped vehicles must enter brake service mode to avoid damage
• Recommended tools: brake caliper piston spreader and caliper hanger for safe installation

Who is this for: Drivers looking for a balance of quiet, reliable stopping power and corrosion resistance without stepping up to Bosch’s premium QuietCast line. Ideal for everyday commuters and family vehicles where OE-like fit, reduced noise, and simple installation are priorities. Always check vehicle compatibility and follow proper service procedures for EPB and piston retraction before installation.
