Designed and engineered to enhance braking power, Brembo Ceramic Brake Pads minimize braking distances while offering a quiet and safe braking experience on a variety of road conditions. Original Equipment Direct Moulding Pressing Process provides a proper and accurate fit. The positive molding process uses extreme pressure to compress friction materials and provide balanced bonding to the backing plate. Each pad is then thermal scorched following Brembo’s O.E. specifications to lessen running-in and fading. Brembo’s multi-layer ESE (Elastomer – Steel – Elastomer) red shim, clearly identifying the pads as Brembo pads, dampens noise and minimizes vibrations. Additional noise dampening is handled by the backing plate which also acts as a heat shield to reduce heat transfer to the caliper. Developed for a wide range of applications, including premium imports and domestic models, Brembo Ceramic Brake Pads offer the performance, dust reductions, comfort, reliability and longevity drivers demand.
