In a few sentences

In brief

The same external size does not describe all the performance characteristics.

Useful to know

HELLA specifies different friction formulas for different cars, loads and braking characteristics. The lining is not just a metal base with random material on top. [1]

When comparing sets, start from the correct application and the corresponding braking system. Don't just pick by color, price, or a similar photo. The evaluation of the work also includes the status of the contact disk and the other components. A new lining alone does not prove that the whole knot has been checked or that the cause of the noise has already been established.
