BYD Formula Leopard 5 Front Brake Pads (Front Brake Pad Set)

This product is professionally designed for BYD’s professional personalized brand—the Formula Leopard 5, the brand’s first model, serving as a core safety friction component in the front ventilated disc brake system.

As a professional manufacturing factory specializing in automotive brake system parts, our front brake pad set strictly follows OE specifications, dedicated to providing the global aftermarket with high-safety, high-wear-resistance replacement solutions.

Front brake pads work with front brake discs to generate braking torque, bearing approximately 60%-70% of total vehicle braking force. As a mid-to-large hardcore off-road NEV SUV, the Fangchengbao 5 has a substantial vehicle weight (kerb weight of 2890-3040kg), with front brake pads enduring immense braking loads—their quality directly determines braking distance and driving safety .

Compatible with all BYD Formula Leopard 5 trims (including 2023-2026, Explorer/Navigator/YunNian/Smart Driving/Flash Charge versions). According to vehicle specifications, the Formula Leopard 5 features ventilated disc brakes on both front and rear axles, with Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) as the parking brake type .

Front wheel upgrade solutions typically feature large 6-piston calipers (such as TEI Racing SR6) with 355×32mm slotted two-piece discs, compatible with 18-inch and larger wheels. This product is available in both OEM-spec and high-performance upgrade replacement versions .

• Front brake pads recommended inspection every 30,000-50,000 km, or per the vehicle service manual. Given the Fangchengbao 5’s heavy body weight (2890-3040kg kerb weight), front brake pad wear may be faster than in standard passenger vehicles .

• Recommended to replace both left and right front pads as a pair for balanced braking force.

【Professional Tips】:

• *When replacing front brake pads, recommended to check brake disc thickness is within allowable range (standard thickness approx. 32mm) *

• Both left and right pads must be replaced as a pair for balanced braking force

• New brake pads require bed-in (approx. 200-500 km)—avoid emergency braking during this period

• Check brake fluid level after replacement

• If equipped with EPB, front brake pad replacement generally does not require diagnostic tool release (rear wheels only)
