Bosch QuietCast BC1451 Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Set — Quiet braking, Low dust, Corrosion-resistant

Bosch BC1451 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pads are a ready-to-install axle set engineered to deliver quiet braking, low dust, and long-lasting corrosion resistance for compatible vehicles.

Built from decades of Bosch braking expertise, the BC1451 QuietCast pads combine a proprietary ceramic friction formula with Molded Shim Technology (MST), powder-coated backing plates, and OE-style fit features. Designed as a direct-replacement axle set, these pads include hardware where applicable and synthetic lubricant for sliding contact points, making them a practical upgrade for drivers who want cleaner wheels, reduced noise, and reliable stopping performance.

How do these pads reduce noise during braking?

QuietCast pads use Bosch's pre-attached multilayer rubber-core shims molded to the steel backing to interrupt vibration at the source. The combination of MST shims and a tuned ceramic friction mix lowers audible squeal while maintaining consistent pedal feel under normal driving conditions.

• Molded Shim Technology reduces vibration transfer to calipers and rotors
• Multilayer rubber-core shims pre-attached for factory-style fit and assembly
• Ceramic friction compound formulated to dampen high-frequency noise

What performance and longevity features do Bosch QuietCast pads offer?

The QuietCast design centers on durable materials and corrosion-resistant finishes to extend service life. Powder-coated backing plates resist rust, while slots and chamfers preserve even wear and reduce the chance of edge cracking or uneven contact over time.

• Powder-coated backing plate to combat corrosion and extend pad life
• OE-style slots and chamfers for consistent bedding and wear patterns
• Ceramic formula balances stopping power with low dust generation

Will the BC1451 fit my vehicle and what comes in the box?

This pad set fits the rear axle on specific vehicle applications—verify trim and engine compatibility with the fitment checker before purchase. Bosch supplies pads for one axle (two wheels) and includes a hardware kit where required plus synthetic lubricant to ease installation and reduce sliding-point resistance.

• Set contains rear axle pads for two wheels (one axle)
• Includes hardware kit when applicable and synthetic lubricant
• Fitment varies by make, model, year and trim—confirm with vehicle lookup

How do these pads affect brake dust and wheel cleanliness?

Engineered ceramic friction material produces less abrasive residue than many semi-metallic compounds, translating to reduced visible dust on wheels during everyday use. Reduced dust helps wheels stay cleaner longer and simplifies wheel maintenance between washes.

• Ceramic compound designed for lower dusting under normal driving
• Smoother wear particles lessen wheel staining and cleaning frequency
• Consistent friction reduces uneven rotor deposits that can increase dust

Who is this for? The Bosch BC1451 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pad set is aimed at drivers seeking a direct-replacement OE-quality pad with emphasis on quiet operation, reduced wheel dust, and enhanced corrosion protection. It's a good match for owners of compatible Acura and Honda models (confirm fitment) or anyone who prefers a ceramic pad that balances low noise with long-term durability and straightforward installation.
