Smooth, quiet drive with Apec directional brake pads The single, or largest, chamfer should oppose disc rotation
Share:

Apec matches OE specifications for directional brake pads, crucial for noise elimination and optimal performance.


Always fit with the arrow facing the direction of disc rotation.

If no arrow is present:
  • Chamfer: A single chamfer or the larger of two chamfers should oppose disc rotation.
  • Crescent/Half-moon: This feature should oppose disc rotation.
Incorrect fitting leads to noise and poor braking.

For more information on Directional Pads, please refer to the full article on the Apec website.
