Brake parts
Brake pads, shoes, linings, discs and drums from makers who hold the approvals their destination markets ask for.
About brake parts
Brake parts are safety parts, so the maker's test reports and approvals matter more here than in any other line. We work with makers of disc brake pads, drum brake shoes and linings, brake discs and brake drums for cars, light commercial vehicles and two-wheelers.
For the UK and the EU, replacement brake friction parts must carry approval to UNECE Regulation 90; that approval is held by the maker for its own product. For other markets the maker supplies the conformity paperwork that the destination asks for, shipment by shipment where the market works that way.
Types
- Disc brake pads (front and rear)
- Drum brake shoes and bonded linings
- Motorcycle and three-wheeler brake pads and shoes
- Ventilated and solid brake discs (rotors)

Materials
- Semi-metallic, low-metallic and ceramic friction compounds

Standards
- Replacement brake friction parts approved to UNECE Regulation 90 from makers who hold that approval for the product, for UK and EU buyers
- SASO conformity certificates for Saudi Arabia, obtained through the approved route for each model and shipment, with the maker's test data
