Are APEC brake pads any good?

Apec pads provide consistent quality that motorists and technicians can trust, thanks to highly accurate control of friction materials and production processes. Finally the complete pads are heated to 650°C under 1 tonne pressure, to provide better braking straight from the box, longer life and quieter operation.

Where are APEC brake pads made?

Europe
All Apec brake pads are precision-made in Europe, using advanced robotic technology for constant accuracy and easy first-time fitting. The manufacturing process includes the friction material, back plate and shims, ensuring consistent high quality. Pads then undergo rigorous and extensive testing.

Are APEC Brakes OE?

Apec brake discs are produced to exacting OE standards and carry a manufacturers warranty. They are made using high quality materials to ensure that they effectively withstand constant changes in temperature and are highly resistant to warping.

How are the brake pads on APEC tested?

Braking performance was checked using a number of sample pads, across a range of simulations including braking from cold and hot and at motorway speeds, evaluating pedal pressure, fade and recovery time. Pad performance for Apec was almost identical to OEM and easily met R90, the legal requirement for brake pads on sale in Europe.

Which is better APEC or Mintex brake pads?

Oh put decent fluid in too. APEC pads are close to ATE terms of quality and performance. They’re far better than Mintex (who people think are amazing for some reason). I sell APEC brake pads and I give a 12 month guarantee with them. They’re not racing pads like EBC but they are very very good for road use.

Are there any APEC brake pads for R90?

Apec are one of a number of suppliers of R90 OE spec replacements. Don’t expect great things from them on a track day, just like you wouldn’t from the OEM pads fitted by your dealer or in the factory. Holy thread revival revival!! I quite like Apec pads, good alternative to OE pads. Wouldn’t rate them for track use though.
