A vehicle is only as good as the components that it uses. With Apec, those components are built to OE specifications to guarantee the performance customers and installers expect with a unique aftermarket twist.
Brake shoes are an important component in any vehicle's drum braking system. The primary job of the brake shoe is to provide friction between the wheel and the brake drum when pressure is applied to the brakes, slowing or stopping your vehicle. Like disc brakes, drum brakes are used to slow down and stop vehicles, but they work in different ways. Drum brakes use brake shoes that press outward against the inner surface of a spinning drum, while disc brakes use calipers to squeeze two brake pads against the sides of a spinning disc, or rotor. Drum brakes tend to be less effective and require more maintenance than disc brakes, making them more common on older cars and light trucks. Brake shoes can become worn over time from regular use, leading to decreased performance such as slow, spongy braking or binding of the shoes to the inner drums. Therefore it is important that you inspect and replace your brake shoes when these signs present themselves for optimal safety and performance.
Manufactured with extreme precision to ensure quality that perseveres, Apec Shoes are a combination offering for fulfilling your core braking needs. Made up of cutting-edge marials that resist cracks and deformation, Apec Shoes are tailored to be fitted alongside Apec Drums for an installation that optimises performance to create an OE quality braking experience that feels brand new.
