As far as we’re concerned, semi-metallic brake pads are the best choice. They’re powerful, durable, and perform exceptionally well under high temperatures. But there’s one downside: they can make noise. This is caused by friction between the metal in the pad and the brake caliper. And yes, you’ll hear it. Fortunately, the solution is simple: anti-noise shims. At Kavo Parts, all our semi-metallic brake pads come with these smart noise reducers as standard. That means fewer complaints, and more satisfied customers.
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.
Why you need brake pads with anti-noise shims
1. Fewer complaints, more repeat business
Brake noise leads to frustration. Anti-noise shims help reduce squeaking, which means less hassle for workshops and fewer complaints from end users. That makes the product easier to sell, and easier to sell again.
2. No extra work for your customer
All our brake pads come with pre-installed shims. That means no extra steps in the workshop. Just install and go. For your customer, that saves time. For you, it strengthens the overall offer.
3. Premium product, no extra cost
While others charge extra for anti-noise shims, ours are included as standard. That gives your customers a more complete product, while helping you protect margin and keep your offer competitive.
