Brake Pads Comparison

QuietCast™ Series

QuietCast™ raises aftermarket brake pad technology to a whole new level. Employing the industry’s best pre-attached, rubber core shims and Molded Shim Technology, QuietCast™ delivers the quiet operation you and your customers expect with the durability and long life that are the hallmarks of all Bosch products.

The laminated rubber-core shim is heat and pressure cured between two layers of steel. This process ensures the highest quality bonding of the rubber to steel resulting in lower noise, increased strength, and corrosion resistance
Sound vibrations pass through the friction material and backing plate, but are dissipated by the unique rubber core in the shim for remarkable noise dampening
At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure mold the multi-layer shim to the backing plate and friction material creating an integrally molded unit
Shim stays attached throughout the life of the pad; won’t walk or slide on the backing plate
Provides maximum stability resulting in quieter shim performance over the life of the pad

The QuietCast™ Premium Disc Brake Pad program offers top quality, availability, competitive pricing and full coverage for all makes and models of Domestic, Asian and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs.
