Directional Brake Pads

One of the biggest challenges with manufacturing brake pads is to control and reduce brake noise.

To solve the problem with some specific braking systems, asymmetricical brake pad designs (which introduce the pad to the disc at an angle) have been developed. This significantly reduces the potential for vibration and noise.

Brake Splash Shields

Traditionally considered a main dealer component, splash shields are fitted behind the brake disc & caliper assembly, offering protection from ‘road muck’ thrown up from beneath the vehicle.

Brake Splash Shields help to prevent grit and dirt getting on to the disc surface. This grit and dirt can combine with water to create a natural ‘grinding paste’ which can cause excessive and uneven disc wear.
