AAD offer a wide range of disc brake pads. For all your disc pad preferences AAD has the pad to suit. The range covers most passenger vehicles on Australian roads today. Available from AAD are Protex, Bendix & TRW disc pad ranges.

Protex Brake Pad Range 

In the pursuit of braking excellence, the Protex range has been reformulated to deliver more choice and benefits than ever before. Utilising the latest cutting-edge technology available, our disc rotors and pads have been re-engineered to offer maximum safety, quicker fitting and better stopping performance. We have expanded our range to offer more choice for drivers including the introduction of a specialty 4WD range and a performance range in both pads and rotors. Our commitment to innovation has resulted in more advanced features including our exclusive anti-corrosion coating Ultracoat Z360® and copper free ultra ceramic formulation in our brake pad range. With over 3000 parts covering over 95% of the market, Protex now gives you maximum choice across more applications and driving styles. A continued commitment to quality and safety ensures you can rely on Protex to give you great stopping performance, every time.

• Optimised Surface – Scorched for instant braking performance straight from the box. Optimised chamfer & slotting to reduce vibration.
• Ceramic Formulation – Ceramic material for less noise & better stability at all temperatures resulting in better pad & rotor wear.
• Multi Layered Metallic Shim – Noise absorbing materials to minimise vibration & prevent brake noise.
• Eco Friendly Copper Free – Low or no copper variations which are better for the environment.

PROTEX ULTRA CERAMIC

Having been in the market for more than a decade, our Ultra Ceramic Brake Pads are well accepted by mechanics and known to be made from stable, high-quality materials. The low-dust ceramic formulation helps lessen the environmental impact, while noise-absorbing technology creates quieter braking.

With strong resistance to fade, these brake pads can be used straight from the box without having to bed them in, saving on fitting time. This is thanks to an optimised surface, created by heating the pads to a high temperature at the factory to remove remaining gases or resins – so you can have top braking performance immediately.

Features

• Low dust ultra ceramic formulation
• Low copper
• Pre-treated, scorched surface
• Ultra quiet, noise absorbing technology
• Stable friction formulation

Benefits

• Quicker fit, no bedding in required
• Quieter braking
• Better pedal feel
• Less environmental impact
• Extended rotor & pad life

PROTEX ULTRA CERAMIC PLUS

These high-quality brake pads contain zero copper, providing less environmental impact without compromising performance.

The ceramic formulation is stable even at very high temperatures and creates less dust, while the multi-layered metal shim includes an additional adhesive lever to minimise vibration and prevent brake noise.

Ultra Ceramic Plus Brake Pads come with synthetic lubricant and mounting hardware, where required.

Like all our brake pads, this product can be used straight from the box, saving on fitting time. This is thanks to an optimised surface, created by heating the pads to a high temperature at the factory to remove remaining gases or resins.

Features

• Low dust ultra ceramic formulation
• Copper free
• Pre-treated, scorched surface
• Ultra quiet, noise absorbing technology
• Triple layer metallic shim for less noise
• Stable friction formulation
• Synthetic lubricant & mounting hardware included where required

Benefits

• Quicker fit, no bedding in required
• Quieter braking
• Better pedal feel
• Less environmental impact
• Extended rotor & pad life

PROTEX ULTRA 4WD

Designed to withstand the challenging conditions of Australia’s tough terrain, versatile Ultra 4WD Brake Pads are also suited to everyday driving.

The high-end ceramic formulation helps reduce dust and contains no copper, which is a better choice for the environment – particularly with off-road driving, since copper is damaging to our waterways. The multi-layer metal shim helps absorb noise for quieter braking.

Like all our brake pads, this product can be used straight from the box, saving on fitting time. This short bedding-in time is thanks to an optimised surface, created by heating the pads to a high temperature at the factory to remove remaining gases and resins.

Features

• Low dust ultra ceramic formulation
• Copper free
• Pre-treated, scorched surface
• Ultra quiet, noise absorbing technology
• Stable friction formulation
• Synthetic lubricant & mounting hardware included where required

Benefits

• Quicker fit, no bedding in required
• Quieter braking
• Better pedal feel
• Less environmental impact
• Extended rotor & pad life

TRW DISC PADS

TRW Disc Brake Pads are manufactured by TRW Automotive and have always been the benchmark for the European aftermarket. Also a leading supplier of disc brake systems to vehicle manufacturers including Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Suzuki, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi. TRW offer two exceptional ranges TRW European formulation & TRW D-TEC Next Generation.
Long before official safety and performance specifications were introduced, TRW had established its own test specification to ensure standards above and beyond the demands of the norm. Alpine tests and high speed fade tests are undertaken by TRW’s state-of-the-art testing facilities. Pads for Australian vehicles were developed on Australian braking systems and extensively road tested in Australia.

TRW’s stringent performance specifications ensure that all TRW pads have excellent fade resistance in most braking conditions, as well as good pedal feel and excellent recovery. TRW brake pads work when cold and continue to perform at very high temperatures. All TRW brake pads are scorched at 650°C eliminating initial fading and reducing the bedding-in time. The scorching process superficially heats the surface of the friction material to release residual gases and resins remaining after the manufacturing process.

All TRW pads are fitted with hot-glued rubber composite shims (or metal/original specification shims if required). This reduces vibration – the major cause of brake noise.

With over 900 references in stock, the TRW range of disc pads is by far the largest single range of disc pads available in Australia. TRW Disc brake pads can be fitted to any vehicle and will provide the driver with absolute braking confidence in most braking situations. Whether it’s a Mini Cooper, a large Ford Falcon V8 or a Toyota Land cruiser, TRW provides “Performance when it counts”.

TRW D-TEC Next Generation pads offer great performance, with less residual dust. TRW engineers have undertaken extensive research and development to bring to you a new generation ceramic friction material which delivers significantly less dust along with greater stopping power. Wear rates have been improved to help make this brake pad a great all-rounder with no compromise.
