As far as we’re concerned, semi-metallic brake pads are the best choice compared to other brake pad types. As far as we’re concerned, semi-metallic brake pads are the best choice compared to other types. They’re powerful, durable, and perform well under high temperatures.The only drawback: they can make noise. Customers often return to the garage with complaints. That means extra work for the mechanic, and in many cases the pads are replaced with another brand or type.
For distributors, that not only means handling returns but also losing the follow-up sale to a competitor. That’s why semi-metallic pads without shims are simply a risk. But with the right shims, the problem is solved. That’s exactly why all our semi-metallic brake pads come with anti-noise shims as standard.
What are anti-noise shims?
Anti-noise shims are thin layers of damping material placed on the back of the brake pad.
They act as a buffer between the pad and the caliper. Sounds simple? It is. And that’s exactly why it works.
