NAO Ceramic Front Brake Pads for the Smart EQ fortwo and Fortwo — Zero Dust, Zero Noise
The Brembo P50137N Premium NAO Ceramic OE Equivalent front brake pads deliver dust-free, near-silent braking for the 2019 Smart EQ fortwo and the 2016-2018 Smart Fortwo. Brembo's non-asbestos organic ceramic compound is formulated for the compact, lightweight brake system of the Smart Fortwo and EQ fortwo platforms, where low stopping forces and minimal rotor wear are key performance criteria. The P50137N produces virtually no black brake dust, keeping the small-diameter alloy wheels of the Smart spotless between cleanings.
Key Features
- Premium NAO ceramic compound engineered for the Smart EQ fortwo and 2016-2018 Fortwo front brake calipers
- Near-zero brake dust output for cleaner wheel appearance on small-diameter Smart alloy wheels
- Extremely quiet operation with no squeal under normal braking conditions
- Gentle on rotors to maximize rotor life on the Smart's compact brake package
- Direct OE equivalent fitment for 2016-2019 Smart Fortwo and EQ fortwo front positions

Frequently Asked Questions
What Smart vehicles does the P50137N fit?The P50137N fits the 2019 Smart EQ fortwo in Electric Drive and Cabriolet Electric Drive configurations, and the 2016-2018 Smart Fortwo in Pure, Passion, Prime, and Cabriolet trims.
What makes the P50137N NAO ceramic compound different from low-metallic pads?NAO ceramic pads use non-asbestos organic ceramic fibers instead of metallic particles. This produces virtually zero black brake dust, generates less noise, and places less thermal stress on rotors, making them ideal for the compact and lightly loaded brake system of the Smart Fortwo.
Are the P50137N pads compatible with the EQ fortwo's regenerative braking?Yes. The P50137N is calibrated for the EQ fortwo's front caliper specification and is compatible with the partial hydraulic engagement that occurs when the regenerative system does not fully capture braking energy.
Does the kit include all installation hardware?Yes. Every P50137N set includes shims, retaining clips, and lubricant for a complete installation.
Will ceramic pads wear out rotors faster than low-metallic pads?No. Ceramic pads are gentler on rotor surfaces than metallic compounds. The NAO ceramic formula in the P50137N is specifically chosen to maximize rotor longevity on the Smart's compact brake package.
Do these pads require a break-in bedding procedure?Yes. Perform 5-7 light to moderate stops from 30 mph with full cool-down between each stop to properly transfer the ceramic compound to the rotor surface before normal driving.
Is Brembo a Smart/Daimler OE supplier?Yes. Brembo supplies brake components to Daimler, the parent company of the Smart brand, ensuring OE-level calibration in the P50137N compound.
Can I use the P50137N on the Smart Fortwo with the Brabus performance package?The P50137N is validated for the standard Smart Fortwo front brake caliper. If your vehicle has Brabus-upgraded brakes with different calipers, verify the caliper part number before ordering.
Installation Instructions
- Lift and safely support the vehicle. Remove the front wheel.
- Remove the brake caliper guide pin bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Support it without hanging by the brake hose.
- Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
- Clean the bracket sliding surfaces and apply the provided lubricant to the slides only.
- Install the new hardware clips and seat the P50137N pads in the bracket.
- Compress the caliper piston fully using a caliper piston tool or C-clamp.
- Reinstall the caliper over the new pads and torque the guide pin bolts to spec.
- Reinstall the wheel and torque lug bolts to specification.
- Pump the brake pedal firmly several times before moving the vehicle.
- Complete the bedding procedure before returning to normal driving.
