GOOD TO KNOW

Information on Maserati Pads We do not have an OE lookup to identify the correct pad for Maserati. Before getting in touch with the Webchat team or Braking Product Managers, you must confirm the dimensions with the customer, so we can select the correct pad for the vehicle. The following dimensions are in the product description:

Sell with confidence Eicher friction material provides a stable coefficient friction material that offers less fading at high temperature and high speed, while ensuring long product life, with quiet braking under any conditions, all while maintaining high environmental standards.

The thickness of a rizla paper is enough to create disc runout – and this is the sensation that feels like warped discs. It is actually DTV (Disc Thickness Variation), which is why it is important to always keep “CLEAR” when changing pads and discs.

What you need to know Such technology not only ensures that the braking system’s performance will be high, but it also reduces the disc’s weight by up to 15%, therefore providing a consumption and emission reduction and improved driver handling. The Brembo Co-Cast disc is not only perfectly interchangeable with the original disc, but it has also passed the most severe bench tests and it’s approved according to the ECE-R90 standards. CO-CAST TECHNOLOGY Mercedes/Brembo OE brake disc has a ribbed/ castellated design on the hub. This has been patented by Mercedes, and the only option for this disc is via a Mercedes dealer.​ BREMBO introduced an alternative disc with a smooth hub design overcoming the Mercedes patent. ​ This disc uses Brembo Co-Cast technology, The only difference is that this version does NOT have the ribs/castellations visible.

Don’t forget!

Use only Hydratec on rubber contacts

Use only Ceratec on metal:metal contact
