Bosch offers QuietCast, a premium line of brake pads for Asian, domestic and European applications. QuietCast features a pre-attached rubber core shim, offered exclusively by Bosch for the independent aftermarket. This type of shim is the best in the industry and is the predominant type used by OEMs. It offers remarkable noise dampening, increased strength and corrosion resistance. A hardware kit and synthetic lubricant are included for select applications. In keeping with current legislation, Bosch QuietCast Brake Pads are now available without copper for many makes and models. One in every three vehicles in North America uses Bosch braking components.
