Additionally, the pads are equipped with multi-layer rubberized shims that act as noise insulators, preventing the common squealing or grinding sounds associated with brake wear. The stainless-steel hardware included ensures a secure and corrosion-resistant installation, contributing to the overall longevity and reliability of the braking system.
