How to prevent fake goods from causing real problems for your business.
Anticounterfeiting
Brake pads apply friction to both sides of the top brake disc/rotor enabling your vehicle to stop.
Counterfeit brakes often have poor quality steel backing plates and weak or no shim bonding to the back plate. Counterfeit brake pads are often made from inferior products like compressed wood chips and sawdust.
The counterfeit pads clearly has paint that is chipping and bubbling. The OEM pad utilizes powder coat which is much more durable. Also note the painted caliper clip on the counterfeit. The poor paint adhesion can lead to back plate corrosion which leads to customer dissatisfaction.
The counterfeit back plate was produced from a stamping process while the OEM part has a blanked part. The edge rollover of the car can lead to the pad binding in the caliper causing the pad to wear and increasing brake drag hence reducing fuel economy.
