New Brake Hardware – Back to like-new performance The WBR complete disc brake hardware kits provide everything you need to perform a complete the brake job and restore the brake system back to the optimal like new operating condition. Disc hardware can lose 50% of spring tension within 1-2 years, which can cause pads to stick, create uneven pad wear, and lead to unwanted brake noise.

Product Features:

• Reduced Brake Noise, comebacks and unsatisfied customers,
• Extends the life of a brake job,
• Improved fuel mileage, and
• Restores brakes to like new Performance. Effects of Corrosion, Heat, Stress, Use Rust and Corrosion on floating caliper slides or bushings can prevent the caliper from centering properly, which can
• reduce effective braking force
• cause uneven pad wear, and brake noise. Rubber Bushings lose there resiliency and become flattened from the torque of the braking system which can
• cause excessive caliper movement
• cause unwanted noise like rattles and thumps.
