Front & Rear HD Brake Pads For BMW 316i 318i 318iS 320i 323i 325i 328i E36

Brand New

TRW Aftermarket brake pads are the best in the business, offering high quality, reliable performance that you can trust whenever you need it. We’re the market-leading specialists when it comes to braking systems, so take advantage of our experience.

• Manufactured to the highest original equipment (OE) standards
• ECE Regulation 90 compliant
• Safest braking performance 100% tested
• All fitting accessories and fitting instructions include
• ATEC brake pads

TRW ATEC is an advanced material developed for all entry and medium level vehicle models in Asia Pacific. It is designed for customers whose requirements are value for money and good braking performance as well as comfortable and safe driving.

Components and features of a TRW ATEC brake pad:

• Backing plate: ATEC is fitted with high-quality steel backing plates which are powder coated according to TRW's OE standards to help protect against oxidation
• Friction Material: ATEC's advanced formulation ensures reliability and high performance at all temperatures (from ambient to 500°C) and pressures
• Scorching: Intense heating of the brake pad material to 600-700°C scorching which speeds up the bedding in process.
• Bonding: Premium heat-resistant adhesive compound for effective bonding during frequent braking.
• Shim: Fitted with a TRW designed phenolic shim which absorbs the vibrations that cause noise, virtually eliminating brake noise such as squeal.
• Wear Indicator: Fitted with a high quality wear indicator or sensor if one is supplied at OE.
• Slot and Chamfer: ATEC brake pads match OE designs that effectively eliminate vibration and noise.

Excellent Performance

TRW’s engineers do not release a new material into the market until it has undergone rigorous testing procedures, both in the laboratory, on test tracks and then on the road in field tests. The OE specified AK Master Test is used on both EU and Asian references to ensure the friction material is suitable for all vehicle types. The test results show that TRW’s advanced ATEC material provides consistent braking performance over a wide range of test conditions.

 

Better Wear Resistance

TRW ATEC brake pads not only have a lower wear rate than the nearest competitor, tests also show that they are less aggressive on the disc.

 

Less Noise

As with all TRW friction materials, TRW ATEC has very low noise occurrence. This is as a result of a superior friction formulation and the use of phenolic shims, which help to absorb the vibrations which cause noise.

Total control
100% own production of brake pads means TRW can guarantee quality parts that meet our rigorous standards
Unique and thorough manufacturing processes
TRW designs and manufactures the entire brake system. This is at the heart of what we do.

State-of-the-art brake pad manufacturing

We understand the importance of friction material in front and rear brake pads. Making the friction material compound in-house allows us to find the perfect combination of raw materials from rubber to graphite, generating the safest brake pad performance across all conditions.

Our scorching techniques heat the pads to 600-700oC, which helps to reduce bedding-in time and initial fading. Automatic moulding presses allow us to use deep moulding technology, which produces a more consistent density and porosity. This will give drivers that leave the garage with our replacement brake pads fitted to their vehicles more comfortable journeys because it minimises the amount of judder and noise.

 

Pads verified and tested for excellence

Every element of our aftermarket brake pads is tested multiple times, including those crucial back plates, which carry the friction material. To prevent rust from developing on the back plate we use a powder coating, and the specialist design from TRW helps the brake pad to resist high shear strengths as well as hot temperatures.

 

We care about car brakes – and the environment

We all have a duty to protect the environment, so we’ve enhanced yet further the way we manufacture our brake pads. Using a highly advanced heat plate scorching system rather than traditional flame scorching, we save energy and produce less CO2 emissions – a practice which is today an original equipment (OE) standard. TRW also introduced the first environmentally-friendly brake pad programme for passenger cars in Europe, which means we never use ingredients and materials like, lead, mercury, cadmium, antimony, brass or molybdenum.

 

We care about brake parts – and you, too

As the leading braking systems manufacturer in the global aftermarket we have the energy, passion and dedication to make sure our products provide a real difference. Constantly trying to improve and grow our range of brake pads and discs as well as calipers and shoes, we have everything covered to make brake pad supply and service stress-free. With more than 100 years of history in manufacturing original equipment, we have the experience to make a real difference to vehicle safety across Europe.

• We aim to ship orders within 1 business day of payment.
• Items are shipped from either Sydney or Perth warehouses depending on your location and stock availability.
• We use various couriers to ensure speedy delivery, metro orders are generally delivered in 2 to 5 working days, for country and remote areas allow 4 to 8 working days.
• All items shipped have free transit insurance for loss or damage while in transit. However it is the buyers responsibilty to provide a safe and secure delivery address and once an item is deemed delivered by the courier - either with or without signature, the transit insurance coverage ends and we do not accept any further liablity for items lost or stolen after the items have been delivered to your address.
• Post Office boxes or Parcel lockers; we cannot deliver brake rotors or drums and bulky items over 5kg to PO Boxes or parcel lockers, in these cases we will notify you if your item cannot be delivered to a PO box or Parcel locker and request a delivery address from you.
