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.

Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance. From daily-driver ceramic pads to track-spec metallic compounds, there is a brake pad for every application. Popular ProductsTop brake pad brands include EBC Brakes, Hawk Performance, StopTech, and Akebono. Popular compound choices include ceramic pads for low dust and quiet operation, semi-metallic for improved bite, and full metallic for track use. What brake pad compound should I choose?Ceramic pads are best for street use, offering low dust, quiet operation, and good bite. Semi-metallic pads add more stopping power at the cost of more dust. Full metallic and racing compounds are reserved for track use where extreme heat resistance is needed. How do I know when brake pads need replacement?Most brake pads include a wear indicator that creates a squealing sound when pad thickness reaches the minimum limit. ...
