GDB407 TRW Brake Pad Set, disc brake

These pads are really the part that actually stops your car when you hit the brakes. They clamp down on the rotors – those big metal discs you see behind your wheels – creating friction. That friction is what slows and eventually brings the vehicle to a halt. A set includes pads for both wheels on an axle, so you’re generally replacing them in pairs. They’re designed to wear down over time, that’s just how they work. They're a critical part of your braking system, obviously. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the pads against the rotors. Think of it like this: the rotor is the drum, and the pads are what squeeze it to create stopping power. Everything else in the brake system – the master cylinder, brake lines, calipers – all works to get those pads where they need to be, with enough force to stop the car safely. They act like a shield between the caliper and the rotor. Well, if these wear down too much, you lose stopping power. It's that simple. You’ll notice if they’re really bad – maybe a grinding noise when you brake, or it takes longer to come to a stop. But even before it gets that bad, reduced braking performance is dangerous. Replacing them regularly is a key part of keeping you and everyone else on the road safe. You can often find a good set, like the ones we carry at Fixparts Online, for a reasonable price, and it's a lot cheaper than dealing with a potential accident. It’s a pretty straightforward repair, but if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, any good mechanic can take care of it for you. Why settle for less? Disc Brake Pad Set (MPN GDB407) includes a 12-month warranty!
