OE engineered to provide optimum rotor and pad replacement as specified by the original vehicle maker
Allentown, PA (March 2009) - Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket, a leading aftermarket supplier of OE-engineered aftermarket parts for HVAC and engine cooling, door systems, brake systems, tire pressure monitoring systems, engine management, fuel systems and instrumentation, has engineered its line of ATE PremiumOne Disc Brake Rotors and Pads to OE specifications for quality, fit and performance. They are application-matched to meet specific vehicle requirements. Instead of having to choose from a variety of grades and options, PremiumOne customers will receive the optimum rotor and pad replacement as specified by the original vehicle manufacturer.
To help technicians and customers identify the need for replacement, all ATE PremiumOne® Rotors feature a patented RotorLife® wear indicator that gives technicians a quick visual reference of rotor thickness. The wear indicator, which is created by elliptical grooves that are machined into both rotor surfaces, also helps to reduce brake fade and extend pad life by enhancing the dissipation of heat and gases. A MetaCote® protective coating is applied to help prevent rust and corrosion so the rotors maintain a clean appearance.
ATE PremiumOne Disc Brake Pads are formulated to restore original equipment performance, reduce wheel dusting and extend pad life. The pad’s under-layer design helps to reduce NVH and improve quietness. All pads include shims, slots and chamfers as well as the applicable OE accessories for the complete installation.
