NRS highlights brake pad features

NRS Brakes highlights three replacement brake pad features to look for when servicing vehicle braking systems, ensuring safe operation and long component life. Corrosion Resistance NRS Galvanized Brake Pads use zinc-plating technology instead of the painted parts utilized by some traditional pads. Paint can chip and flake, inviting rust-causing corrosion to degrade the brake pad.
