• GM engineers spent many years developing, testing, and validating brake pad solutions for your GM vehicle
• OE brake pads are specifically designed to work with GM vehicle safety systems, such as electronic traction control and anti-lock brakes
• OE pads have strict requirements for brake squeal noise. Aftermarket parts are not required to meet any requirements for noise in a GM vehicle
• Performance characteristics, such as pedal feel, stopping distance and noise match GM’s Original Equipment
• ACDelco Gold pads are the high-quality alternative to OE parts. Gold pads are a smart choice for General Motors vehicles, as well as most other makes and models
• Gold brake pads match the GM OE pad design to deliver optimal performance and noise suppression
• Independently tested (AMP3™) with Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH) and durability/wear testing
• ACDelco Gold pads must comply with a rigorous quality approvalprocess so they are backed by GM
• ACDelco Silver brake pads are a quality high value option for General Motors vehicles as well as most other makes and models
• ACDelco Silver brake pads follow essential OE designs that help to diminish noise, vibration, and braking harshness
• Basic testing - effectiveness evaluation
• ACDelco Silver pads must comply with a rigorous quality approval process so they are backed by GM
• Most ACDelco GM OE brake rotors sold in Canada are Ferritic Nitro- Carburized, or FNC rotors
• The FNC layer provides extra protection against corrosive threats from water, salt and even acid rain
• These rotors typically last two times longer, compared to non-FNC rotors, due to improved pad wear behavior
• OE brake systems and components are required to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Aftermarket brake parts are not required to meet FMVSS.
• ACDelco Gold pads are the high-quality alternative to OE parts. Gold pads are a smart choice for General Motors vehicles, as well as most other makes and models
• COOL SHIELD™ Coating – Entire rotor surface including edges and vanes have a baked-on zinc coating for durability
• Follows original manufacturers’ designs for dispersing heat, helping to prolong rotor life while reducing noise and vibration
• ACDelco Gold rotors must comply with a rigorous quality approval process so they are backed by GM
• ACDelco Silver brake rotors are a quality high value option for General Motors vehicles as well as most other makes and models
• Brake plate thickness matches OE specifications
• ACDelco Silver rotors must comply with a rigorous quality approval process so they are backed by GM
