Ferodo replacement brake pads


Ferodo Box PadFederal-Mogul Motorparts’ new line of genuine Ferodo original equipment-quality replacement brake pads has been expanded to cover dozens of additional late-model applications.

The new coverage, available immediately, includes several popular Audi, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen models up to and including the 2015 model year.

“A true European OE-quality replacement brake pad is the preferred choice of many North American consumers who own European models, and of technicians,” said Christopher Battershell, director of brake product management, North America, Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “By relying on Ferodo Premier pads, service professionals can be certain they are installing brake technologies used by leading vehicle manufacturers and thousands of automotive service businesses across Europe.”

Ferodo says each pad set includes the same advanced, OE-quality friction formulation and pad design preferred by European customers that has been tested to comply with European R90 certification standards.

In high-speed testing performed by Federal-Mogul engineers in Europe, using European standards, these replacement brake pads offered superior stopping power and outperformed the competition in benchmark tests for low noise, braking consistency, durability, and wet and dry braking.
