Bendix Priority 1 Ceramic Front Disc Brake Pad Set for Lexus GX, Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia, Tacoma, Tundra

By 2025, all brake manufacturers in the United States must eliminate copper from their friction formulations to meet the California and Washington Proposition 65 regulations. The legislation was enacted in 2010 due to claims by environmental regulators that as brake pads wear down, copper and other materials are deposited on roadways, parking lots, and then washed into streams and rivers, potentially damaging marine and freshwater organisms like fish and mollusks. The 2025 rule requires brake manufacturers to switch their formulations to low-copper, with copper content in friction not exceeding 5% by 2021. Many friction manufacturers have been forced to start developing new formulations and testing a number of different materials to match the characteristics of copper in order to meet the 2021 and 2025 deadlines.

Fits: - Lexus GX460 2016-2010, GX470 2009-2003 - Toyota 4Runner 2016-2003, FJ Cruiser 2014-2007, Sequoia 2007-2001, Tacoma 2016-2005, Tundra 2006-2000
