Calibre Disc Brake Pads DB1989CAL feature friction track technology, an innovation developed by Bendix engineers to accelerate the bedding-in process. Typically a new set of brake pads takes up to 30 stops to reach full braking performance; the bright red friction stripe across the pad surface delivers optimum performance from earlier in that cycle.
The friction compound is formulated to balance minimal brake dust with excellent braking performance, and each part number's composition is tailored to suit its specific vehicle application. Noise reducing shims on the back of each pad prevent the tiny vibrations and sound that usually cause brake squeal by dampening movement during braking.
