Friction

Shop genuine New OEM brake friction materials for GM vehicles. Our factory-original and ACDelco brake pads and shoes are sourced from manufacturer surplus — the exact friction coefficient, compressibility rating, and pad thickness specified by GM for your braking system.

Friction material formulation is one of the most technically critical aspects of brake system design. OEM compounds are developed in conjunction with the rotor alloy, caliper hydraulics, and ABS calibration of your specific vehicle — delivering the stopping distance, fade resistance, and noise characteristics that aftermarket compounds cannot reliably replicate.

Always replace friction materials in complete axle sets and inspect mating surfaces at the same service interval.
