As modern cars become more and more complex, so do their braking systems. Today, many brake systems are equipped with clips, shims, and even electrical sensors, all designed to achieve better braking and vehicle safety. YijingBrakes provides everything you need for a simple, worry-free installation.

When you open a box of YijingBrakes brake pads, you may find other parts in it, not just brake pads. These items may be shims, bolts, electrical sensors, or clips. All of these are important to ensure that your brakes are quiet, durable, and perform at their best.

Brake Pad Shims

Brake pad shims help reduce brake noise or NVH by providing a barrier between the brake pad and the calipers. This prevents produce annoying noise when braking is applied.

In YijingBrakes’s Ceramic brake pads, Premium Multi-layer Rubber-Steel-Rubber Shims are assembled. The Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims are made of carbon steel and have rubber coating on both sides, which designed to achieve quieter braking performance, vibration isolation and service life.

The brake pad shims also prevent heat from being transferred from the brake pad to the calipers and their components. Braking performance and service life increase when heat is prevented from affecting brake system components such as fluids, lubricants, and moving parts. The Premium Multi-layer Rubber-Steel-Rubber Shims is more suitable for this task than the ordinary metal shims.

Brake Clips

Also known as Brake Pad Retaining Clips, brake pad clips, retaining clips and anti-rattle clips, have two main functions when fitted, to hold the brake pads in the exact position and push the pads away from the rotor. This can keep the brakes cooler, reduce noise and extend the life of the pad.

These clips are often exposed to heat, dirt, and liquids, causing them to lose tension and shape due to metal fatigue. That means that the pads no longer moved within the brake as intended, causing a drag on the rotors, premature wear, and reduced pad life.

YijingBrakes offers brand new clips and springs that are built to the exact dimensions of the OEM and fit perfectly each time they are needed. Old clips may rust, deform, or function worse than new clips, so it is recommended that they be replaced with brake pads.

Brake Electronic Wear Sensors

If your vehicle has brake electronic wear sensors, YijingBrakes offers the most popular brake pad electronic sensor, providing you with a worry-free bolt solution. The YijingBrakes brake electronic sensor is designed to be plug and play, directly replacing the OEM electronic sensor. Some vehicles may share the same brake pads but require different brake electronic sensors.

Brake Caliper Bolts

Although not as common as springs, clips, and electronic wear sensors, some automotive brake clamp bolts need to be replaced after removal. YijingBrakes supplies replacement bolts when needed. The bolts are provided with the applied thread lock solids for easy installation.
