Premium Positive Molded Brake Pads Features and Benefits:
- The very same manufacturing process the original equipment manufacturers use
- High density friction material for long pad life
- Less resin content virtually eliminates brake fade and glazing
- Reduced dusting for both Ceramic and Semi-metallic materials
- Quality multi-layered shims and pad chamfering provide smooth and quiet braking
Positive Mold Technology improves durability and performance by allowing for even wear. High density, low resin friction material virtually eliminates brake fade and glazing, generates less brake dust, and promotes a longer-lasting , better performing brake pad.
OE Grade Multi-Layer ShimOE Grade Multi-Layer Shim helps reduce vibration and noise
Environmentally CompliantCertified Environmentally Compliant to "Better Brake Law" standards
Thermal ScorchedPre-burnishing or "Thermal Scorching" is the final curing step in quality ceramic brake pad manufacturing. The brake pad's surface is heated to remove any uncured bonding agents and to stabilize the friction material to accelerate the break-in process and enhance stopping performance from the first stop.
