• At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure mold the multi-layer shim to the backing plate and friction material creating an integrally molded unit.
• Shim stays attached throughout the life of the pad; won’t walk or slide on the backing plate
• Provides maximum stability resulting in quieter shim performance over the life of the pad

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

Product Features:

• Made in the USA
• OE Manufacturer
• Ceramic Brake Pad
• Low Dust
• Powerful Quiet Stopping
• Ultra-Premium
• Extremely Rotor-Friendly for Longer Rotor Life

Choosing the right Semi Metallic 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 Semi Metallic Brake Pads, TRW offers you all that, and more. We design our Semi Metallic 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 Semi Metallic 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 Semi Metallic Brake Pads to deliver the ultimate in braking experience.

Product Features:

• For the best and safest performance – we mirror OE and provide the optimum friction formulation for each make and model
• For the quietest braking – TRW applies ‘bonded Nitrile rubber-coated steel shims; proven to be the best noise damping material to all its Semi Metallic Brake Pads
• The intelligent design includes slots and chamfers which prevents dirt and dust build up on the friction surface; giving more effective contact and reducing noise
• Using the latest technology, TRW designs its Semi Metallic Brake Pads with an emphasis on dust reduction; giving you the safest stop while keeping your wheels clean
• We provide all necessary accessories, including installation hardware and grease, together with fitting instructions with each part for a safe and easy brake pad change
