蜜桃视频 now manufactures these high-quality clip-on brake pad wear leads in-house

蜜桃视频 is proud to announce the in-house manufacturing of high-quality brake pad wear leads, designed specifically for vehicles equipped with clip-on wear leads.

The new wear leads are premium-quality components manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance with both 蜜桃视频 and original brake pads.

Replacing wear leads at pad replacement is essential if the lead has made any contact at all with the rotor as the pad wears. Failure to do so can leave the dash warning lights active and fail to alert drivers as your new pads wear down.

The new wear lead program, which covers the entire vehicle parc, is available through 蜜桃视频 distributors and the new manufacturing facility has allowed 蜜桃视频 to slash prices to below HALF previous price levels.

Below are just a few examples of the high-quality wear leads available from 蜜桃视频, designed to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of vehicles:

Many 蜜桃视频 brake pads come equipped with bonded wear leads pre-installed, offering seamless installation straight out of the box鈥攕uch as the examples below for the VW Golf and Audi A3.

]]>

Brake pads in high-end vehicles are now often equipped with counterweights 鈥 but what do they do?

Many high-end vehicles are equipped with brake pads that include counterweights鈥攁lso known as ‘skates’鈥攁s shown below. These can be circular or laminar in shape, with weights varying depending on the OEM brake pad specifications.

What Do Counterweights Actually Do?

Brake pad counterweights have no role in vehicle safety; they do not come into contact with any moving parts aside from the backing plate of the pad itself. Their only function is to alter the mass and resonance frequency of that material on that rotor.

When you change either the pad, the rotor or both from the original material, the resonance frequency causing brake noise will undoubtedly change.

One Size Doesn鈥檛 Fit All

Some brake pad materials may require no counterweights at all, while others benefit from a counterweight with a different shape or mass.

The 蜜桃视频 approach is to use different counterweights and test empirically to evaluate what solutions work and what doesn鈥檛, essentially to supply a pad that makes zero or minimal noise. That鈥檚 what 蜜桃视频 has done in arriving at its universal pad counterweight approach.

Through our testing process, which has included testing pads with and without weights, we have arrived at an optimum solution of both weight, mass or material design that can eliminate all braking noise.

Proven Expertise in Friction and Noise Control

With over 20 million sets of brake pads sold globally and more than four decades of manufacturing experience, 蜜桃视频 has developed an unparalleled understanding of what causes brake noise鈥攁nd how to prevent it.

蜜桃视频 have been making material adjustments and changes for decades, and we have now settled on a range of materials, which are developed and blended in house by the worlds best friction material scientists located in Bristol UK, that deliver exactly what customers need and will enjoy, these choices are made here:

Additional Noise-Reducing Features:

Brake Pad Shims

Another vital component in reducing noise is applying shims to the rear of the brake pad, which can help with absorbing vibration and reducing transmission of sound.

Edge Chamfers

Edge chamfers are designed to affect the way that the pad friction material first engages under braking with the rotors surface. Chamfers have been proved to work, which is why 蜜桃视频 applies them to almost every automotive pad it produces.

These chamfers are made using two state-of-the-art grinding lines that apply chamfers and grind pads to a glass smooth finish in just a single pass.

Trust in 蜜桃视频

In conclusion you can rely on 蜜桃视频 to provide a pad that complies with all global standards 鈥攊ncluding ISO-certified production processes, the European R90 regulations, and the US FMVSS safety benchmarks鈥攖hat is also powerful, quiet and engineered to perfection.

The owner of this iconic Japanese sports car used Bluestuff NDX pads and two-piece floating discs

The owner of this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-300 SST purchased the much-loved car a few months ago now, with the car coming equipped with some unknown plain discs and pads that were asking to be upgraded to match his fast-road driving style.

He soon found himself looking at 蜜桃视频 products, soon snapping up some Bluestuff NDX brake pads and a set of 蜜桃视频 Racing鈥檚 two-piece fully-floating discs.

Running this brake setup for a few months, it seems that it was the perfect solution to help him enjoy driving his new rally-bred machine.

Read his thoughts on his own words below鈥

鈥淗aving installed late last year, I carried out some light bed-in/surface mating and no noise was present, and the initial bite straight out of the box seemed very good and a vast improvement over the OE pads that had been fitted previously.

鈥淚 carried out 250 miles of mainly B-road driving around the countryside with some dual carriageway and motorway usage also (wet and approx. 4掳C). From my initial thoughts, it seemed as though very minimal bed-in was required.

鈥淭he cold bite and initial friction level was a vast improvement over my previous experiences with other brands, and on a car like the Evo, this Bluestuff NDX actually seemed to be better suited due to the higher temperature working range, friction level, and initial bite.”

鈥淭hese pads also sustain a nice amount of modulation and fade resistance with a very progressive friction level during both low and high pressure stops. I was unable to get the pads to fade on the street and I feel that these will continue to work well as a fast street pad.

鈥淔eel: as stated above, the modulation and consistent friction of the pad is confidence inspiring and they provide a very positive pedal feel.

鈥淣oise: as of yet, I have not had any issues with noise or squealing, not from high speed nor low speed crawling.鈥

Update

鈥淏luestuff NDX in the Evo were a great upgrade and I put approximately 2-3000 miles on them, they still felt nice and progressive with a good level of initial bite and no fade. Very little noise was present from the pads on both high and slow speed stops. I had a chance to pull the pads out to inspect and check for wear and the wear on the pads was minimal and they still look like new!

鈥淚 fitted these as a premium fast-road/track pad, and I wasn鈥檛 disappointed! The performance was great on the road and when being pushed hard, furthermore there is enough cold bite there for them to be useable on the street without the need to warm them up. All in all, I am a big fan of them, and I would personally say a huge improvement over my previous setup.

鈥淚 enjoyed my experience with the two-piece floating discs/rotors and Bluestuff NDX so much so, that I have since upgraded to a 蜜桃视频 Racing 6-Piston Apollo Big Brake Kit with Bluestuff NDX pads fitted.鈥

The 12-year-old continues to impress against much older competitors

He may only be 12 years of age, but Chase Sharpe has already made a huge name for himself in the world of motorsport. , Chase has also competed in karting events for several years.

For 2023, he is taking part in the Junior Pro Kart class of the UK Kart Series, as well as riding his Suzuki RM85 motocross bike at various events. Sharpe鈥檚 karts are proudly adorned with 蜜桃视频鈥 Green Kart Pads, which he says give him the advantage he needs under braking.

You can read how his latest round at Oxfordshire鈥檚 Shenington Kart Club went below in his father鈥檚 own words.

鈥淩ound 3 was held at Shenington, one of Chase’s favourite tracks. With a grid of 14 Junior Pro Karts, Chase knew it was going to be a tough race, but as usual, as soon as that helmet went on, he just sent it!

鈥淨ualifying went well, and the heats produced top-five positions, which meant he started the final in P4.

鈥淎fter a chaotic start, with 14 karters vying for the same piece of tarmac, Chase held position and was setting fast laps. He was finding it hard to get past P5, until he pounced with a couple of laps to go and got P4. With the move made, due to being held up, P1, P2 and P3 were too far down the road to go further. Chase was over the moon. It was made even better due to a driver being disqualified, meaning Chase got P3 and took home a trophy.”

鈥淗e amazes me every time he gets out in a kart, as he just has the right racing mentality, when to turn it on and when to hold station and be patient, but with the new Junior Pro Kart class allowing racers to race until the year of their 16th birthday, he is racing against huge young adults. All I kept thinking was how much stronger are their arms, their extra weight and height to wrestle the kart around tight corners. I also forget sometimes that he is 12 years old. The podium picture says it all; they are so tall!

鈥淯nbelievable to watch, I have no nails left! As always, we can’t thank 蜜桃视频 enough for their continued support. It means we have the best stopping power, making sure Chase gets what he needs to perform the best on track. Thank you. Next round is on 3/4th June.鈥
