From the Worldwide Leader in Braking Technology
Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic and European vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components. That's because Bosch has been a key player in the braking industry since applying for its first brake system design patent in 1936. Bosch introduced Antilock Braking technology to market, as well as Electronic Stability Control systems. Now Bosch brings over 70 years of OE braking expertise to the aftermarket with Bosch QuietCast™ Premium Disc Brake Pads.

QuietCast™ raises aftermarket brake pad technology to a whole new level. Employing the industry's best pre-attached, rubber core shims and Molded Shim Technology (on selected applications), QuietCast™ delivers the quiet operation you and your customers expect with the durability and long life that are the hallmarks of all Bosch products.

Engineered, Manufactured, Distributed and Backed by Bosch
Bosch is closely involved in every step of the QuietCast™ process:

• Worldwide R&D network with 2,500 associates and nine test tracks
• Dedicated engineers source and rigorously test all friction materials and formulations
• Manufactured under the same exacting quality standards as OE components and systems
• Rigorous physical and dynamometer testing

Molded Shim Technology (MST)

• At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure mold the multi-layer shim to the backing plate and friction material creating an integrally molded unit
• Shim stays attached throughout the life of the pad; won't walk or slide on the backing plate
• Provides maximum stability resulting in quieter shim performance over the life of the pad
