Overview
The Baer Brakes D1080 is a set of four front Claw ceramic brake pads for the 2006 to 2010 Jeep Commander (XK) and the 2005 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK), excluding SRT8 models. Brake pads press against the rotor to slow the vehicle, so their friction compound shapes braking feel, dust output and rotor wear. Baer Claw pads use a ceramic compound intended to deliver steady braking with less noise and dust.
The D1080 is sold as one set of four front pads, with stainless steel abutment clips and anti-rattle hardware supplied with most applications. The pads have a wear indicator attached, which helps show when replacement is due. Baer Claw pads are made as an affordable, long-lasting replacement for daily-driven vehicles.
Key features
- Ceramic friction compound aimed at steady braking with low dust
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Stainless steel abutment clips and anti-rattle hardware included with most pads
- Slotted pad face on a black backing plate
- OE-style replacement design for everyday road use
Caliper slide pins and bedding
Brake pads only move correctly when the caliper slide pins and contact points are clean and lubricated. When the pads are changed, remove the caliper, clean the pin boots and bracket surfaces, and apply a suitable caliper lubricant. Keep lubricant off the friction face, since contamination reduces braking grip.
Ceramic compounds need a bedding procedure to transfer an even film to the rotor. Use several moderate stops at road speed with cooling pauses, and avoid heavy braking straight after the first run. This helps the pedal feel stay steady and reduces the chance of uneven pad transfer.
A front axle often shows rotor edge wear before the pads are fully spent, so inspect the rotor surfaces while the wheels are off. Pulsation under braking, a squeal, or a pedal that sinks further than before are common signs that the pads or rotors need attention. Replace both sides of the axle together.

Installation notes
The abutment clips and mounting hardware come with the set, but brake lubricant does not, so apply a suitable caliper lubricant to the slide pins and contact points. Check the wear indicator at each brake service. Replace pads on both sides of an axle together and inspect the rotors while the wheels are off. Follow standard bedding procedure for ceramic pads.
