WBR Run True Technology Metallurgic-Gray (MG) Finished Rotors All World Brake Resources (WBR) brake rotors with Run-True technology are manufactured to match the exact OE fit, OE construction, and precision finishing to ensure quick and easy installation, as well as trouble-free functionality for the life of the rotor. The Metallurgic-Gray coating is applied to all outward non-friction surfaces including in the gap between the plates covering the cooling vanes and cured through an oven drying process. The Gray coating provides an effective anti-rust protection to help maintain a clean appearance. The coating used for WBR is also similar to the OE color used by many OE car makes. WBR Brake Rotors with Run-True Technology have ultra tight tolerances that provide the finest braking experience, from break in throughout the life of the rotor, reducing the chance of warping even under extreme braking temperatures. The coated brake disc provides a protective water based coating that prevents rust and corrosion, extended rotor life and improved visual appearance. WBR Brake Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer specification for durability, fit, and function.

ATE Original brake pads provide quality friction just like the OE pads they replace, providing customer-pleasing brake performance. With the best mixture of materials on the market and a production process which emphasizes quality all the way through, original ATE brake pads represent the state-of-the-art. In order to prevent noise during braking, highly effective primary and secondary measures are both used on brake pads. Primary measures act directly on the point of friction. Here, the main issue is optimization of the materials used for the relevant parts. In many cases, ATE uses the most effective variant and the best primary measure for noise suppression in the industry: the intermediate layer or underlayer! On the other hand, secondary measures are intended to prevent the structure-borne sound which is produced from reaching the ear of the driver and pedestrians. Secondary measures can generally be divided into four groups: damping plates, damping foils, paints and greases. ATE works with over 150 different mixtures of friction material to ensure that the optimal result is always achieved for any particular application. The friction materials are always being refined and developed for this purpose. The pad material consists of various components which each fulfill different functions during braking

Product Features:

• OE engineered brake system technology assures optimum fit and performance
• Advanced friction vehicle specific formulations
• Reduced dusting and extend pad life
• Application matched premium quality friction grade
• Underlayer design helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness
