ACDelco Among First To Meet Brake Certification Standards
Grand Blanc, Mich. - Nearly all replacement parts suppliers claim to carry premium products. When it comes to brakes, ACDelco can prove it.
The ACDelco DuraStop® brake line is among the first in the automotive aftermarket to have its line of brake shoes, pads, drums and rotors certified with the innovative testing procedure Dual Dynamometer Differential Effectiveness Analysis (D3EA®).
The D3EA test measures the performance of actual brake shoes, pads, drums and rotors, simulating specific vehicle weight and speed while determining friction material effectiveness. Created by Greening Testing Laboratories Inc., D3EA provides an objective way to measure specific friction material performance.
"The D3EA certification is intended to demonstrate that our brake shoes, pads, drums and rotors are consistent with federal safety standards for new vehicles," says Kurt Pursche, ACDelco product manager, brakes.
The ACDelco DuraStop brake shoes - the most recent of the DuraStop line to earn D3EA certification - provide high-quality friction, have a rust-preventative coating, contain no asbestos and are built to ACDelco quality specifications.
"The ACDelco DuraStop brake shoes are the best value in the aftermarket," Pursche says. "They are tested, warranted and the friction formulations are selected based on the vehicle applications. And, ACDelco has brake shoes for virtually every vehicle on the road today."
The ACDelco DuraStop brake line regularly completes product assurance audits, ensuring high quality. All ACDelco DuraStop friction products have a limited lifetime warranty.*
