Dual Technology Ceramic (DTC) – Low Noise – Low Dust WBR ceramic brake pads are specially formulated for driving conditions that require superior friction effectiveness without compromising low noise or low dust characteristics. The advanced ceramic formulation mitigates wheel dust, brake fade, low speed and high heat squeal, at the same time providing positive pedal feel and long-life. Every WBR ceramic brake pad comes with a platform specific shim and has a burnished contact surface (scorched) just like OEM pads to ensure easy break-in and proper long-term functionality. Advanced Material Platform Specific Brake Pad Shims: To effectively combat brake squeal, WBR utilizes different advanced materials in the shim construction, as well as fastening the shim to the pad with both mechanical tabs and silicone adhesives. This platform specific advanced material shim design is included with every WBR brake pad.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Performance
• Solid Pedal Feel With Smooth Braking Performance
• Ultra-Quiet Ceramic Formulation
• Low Dust – Long Life
• Advanced Material Platform Specific Shims
• Scorched for Easy Break In
• Positive Mold Construction
• All WBR Pads are 100% Shimmed

Choosing the right Ceramic brake pads is a big decision: after all, they will be fitted to a vehicle carrying precious cargo; so you need to make an informed choice and get it right. With more than 100 years’ experience, we are pioneers in the development of braking systems and technologies and work closely with the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers. As a consumer, you should expect safety, quality and performance from a brake pad. With its superior range of Ceramic Brake Pads, TRW offers you all that, and more. We design our Ceramic Brake Pads using vehicle-optimized friction formulations which are focussed on eliminating noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and severely reducing wheel dust; while at the same time increasing durability and smooth braking actions. We engineer our brake pads to precise Original Equipment (OE) standards, and test them to the extreme both in the lab and in real life, real road situations at every speed and on every terrain. In addition, our Ceramic Brake Pads deliver what we in the business call ‘fadeless performance’ to counteract the heat that braking in heavy traffic creates which could result in a lack of performance. All TRW products are taken to market under the ‘Safety’ strapline. We never deviate from this and we never compromise because we believe that every stop could be that safety critical stop. We wouldn’t put our name to something that we wouldn’t fit in our own vehicles to transport our own families. All of this adds up to one fact: You really can trust TRW to provide superior Ceramic Brake Pads to deliver the ultimate in braking experience.
