Brake Pads are manufactured by TRW
Automotive and have always been the benchmark for the European Aftermarket, as well as
being the leading suppler of disc brake systems to vehicle manufacturers including
Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Suzuki, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi.
Some of the features of Lucas brake pads are:
High
Standards and Rigorous Testing
Long before official safety and performance
specifications were introduced, TRW had established
its own test specification to ensure standards above and beyond the demands of
the norm. Alpine tests and high speed fade tests are undertaken
by TRW's state-of-the-art testing facilities. Pads
for Australian vehicles were developed on Australian braking systems
and extensively road tested in Australia.
Excellent
Brake Performance
TRW's stringent
performance specifications ensure that all Lucas pads have excellent fade resistance
in most braking conditions, as well as good pedal feel and excellent recovery. Lucas brake
pads work when cold and continue to perform at very high temperatures (with
a stable friction co-efficient from 100 °C
to 650°C).
Reduced bedding-in
time
All Lucas brake pads are scorched at 650°C
eliminating initial fading and reducing the bedding-in time. The scorching
process superficially heats the surface of the friction material to release
residual gases and resins remaining after the manufacturing process.
Low Noise
All Lucas pads are fitted with hot-glued
rubber composite shims (or metal/original specification shims if required).
This reduces vibration - the major cause of brake noise.
Environmentally
Friendly
TRW has invested more than USD $100 million
to develop an advanced friction compound free from materials such as asbestos,
copper, brass, antimono, lead and molybdenum. This ensures environmental responsibility
while still maintaining optimum braking performance.
