# R1 1972-1980 American Motors AMBASSADOR Front R1 Ceramic Pads & Hardware Kit Made of ceramic materials that are pressure-adhered within the brake-pad compound, ceramic brake pads are quieter and smoother. For vehicles that stop on a dime - without any unpleasant sounds - CERAMIC brake pads offer the best. An exceptionally hard and durable material, ceramic brake pads will last a long time between changes - providing superior stability and safety without the cost of repeated maintenance. Ceramic brake pads are almost universally the type that is most often recommended for customers; other brake pads will simply not be able to last long enough to brake hard enough. Ceramic brake pads also emit less dust when being used, which also indicates their strength. - Recommended Vehicles: Passenger Vehicles and Light Duty Trucks - Rotor friendly with proven longer rotor and pad life - Premium Ceramic Formulation - Lowest Dust - Plug and play - No Modification Needed - Low Copper - Environmentally Friendly - 100% asbestos Free Formulation - Recommended Use: Daily Use This Part Fits: Year Make Model Submodel 1974 American Motors Ambassador Brougham 1973-1976 American Motors Gremlin Base 1976 American Motors Gremlin Custom 1973-1976 American Motors Hornet Base 1973-1976 American Motors Hornet Sportabout 1973-1974 American Motors Javelin AMX 1973-1974 American Motors Javelin Base 1974-1978 American Motors Matador Base 1975-1976 American Motors Pacer Base 1973-1974 Ford Country Squire Base 1973-1977 Ford Custom 500 Base 1975-1977 Ford Custom 500 Ranch Wagon 1975-1976 Ford Elite Base 1973-1974 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 1972-1976 Ford Gran Torino Base 1973-1976 Ford Gran Torino Brougham 1974-1975 Ford Gran Torino Elite 1972-1975 Ford Gran Torino Sport 1972-1976 Ford Gran Torino Squire 1973-1978 Ford LTD Base 1973-1976 Ford LTD Brougham 1975-1978 Ford LTD Country Squire 1975-1978 Ford LTD Landau 1977-1979 Ford LTD II Base 1977-1978 Ford LTD II Brougham 1979 Ford LTD II Landau 1977-1979 Ford LTD II S 1977 Ford LTD II Squire 1972-1979 Ford Ranchero 500 1972-1979 Ford Ranchero GT 1972-1979 Ford Ranchero Squire 1972-1979 Ford Thunderbird Base 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee 1979 Ford Thunderbird Heritage 1978-1979 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau 1972-1976 Ford Torino Base 1974,1976-1980 International Scout II Base 1978-1979 International Scout II SS2 1976-1980 International Scout II Terra 1976-1980 International Scout II Traveler 1975 International Scout II XLC 1977-1978 Jeep CJ5 Base 1977-1978 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle 1977-1978 Jeep CJ5 Renegade 1977-1978 Jeep CJ7 Base 1977-1978 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle 1977-1978 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 1973-1979 Lincoln Continental Base 1972-1976 Lincoln Mark IV Base 1977-1979 Lincoln Mark V Base 1973-1974 Mercury Colony Park Base 1977-1979 Mercury Cougar Base 1977 Mercury Cougar Brougham 1977 Mercury Cougar Villager 1974-1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 1975-1978 Mercury Grand Marquis Base 1973-1978 Mercury Marquis Base 1973-1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham 1975-1976 Mercury Marquis Colony Park 1972-1976 Mercury Montego Base 1975 Mercury Montego Brougham 1972-1973 Mercury Montego GT 1972-1976 Mercury Montego MX 1972-1974,1976 Mercury Montego MX Brougham 1976 Mercury Montego MX Villager 1972-1975 Mercury Montego Villager 1973-1974 Mercury Monterey Base 1973-1974 Mercury Monterey Custom ## Details - **Price:** 95.51 CAD - **Vendor:** R1 Concepts - **Type:** Brake Pads - OE ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Default Title | 95.51 CAD | In stock | --- > Source: [Standard Auto Part](https://www.standardautopart.com/products/r1-1972-1980-american-motors-ambassador-front-r1-ceramic-pads-hardware-kit) > Updated: 2026-06-28
