Brake Parts

Ceramic brake pads are made from ceramic fibers and copper strands, offering quieter operation (under 35dB), less brake dust, and longer pad life. Semi-metallic pads contain 30-65% metal content, providing stronger stopping power and better heat dissipation, making them ideal for heavy-duty or performance applications. Ceramic pads are preferred for daily driving, while semi-metallic pads suit trucks and towing.

For brake components, ECE R90 certification is mandatory for European markets, ensuring friction material meets minimum performance standards. IATF 16949 indicates the factory follows automotive quality management systems. For the US market, FMVSS 135 compliance is required. We recommend also checking for ISO 9001 and TUV test reports, which provide additional quality assurance for aftermarket parts.

Minimum order quantities vary by product type: brake pads typically start at 200 sets, brake rotors at 100 pieces, and brake calipers at 50 pieces. For initial trial orders, we can accommodate smaller quantities (50-100 sets for pads) to help you test market demand. Larger orders above 1,000 sets qualify for volume discounts of 5-15%.

Every brake product in our catalog includes the original equipment (OE) reference number. You can search directly by OE number using our search tool — for example, entering "04465-33471" will find the compatible Toyota Camry brake pad. We also provide cross-reference tables mapping our model numbers to OE numbers from Toyota, Honda, VW, BMW, and other major brands.

Standard lead time is 15-20 days for brake pads and 20-25 days for brake rotors after order confirmation. In-stock items ship within 3-5 business days. For custom specifications (special friction formulas, private labeling, custom packaging), allow an additional 5-7 days. Rush orders with air freight can be arranged for urgent requirements.
