New ACDelco Advantage Brake Rotors and Drums

ACDelco has always been known for providing Original Equipment (OE) quality parts that deliver in terms of fit, form and function.

 

In response to recent independent aftermarket trends, ACDelco is introducing the new ACDelco Advantage line of brake rotors and drums, which offer the performance of a premium aftermarket line, but at a more economical price. (Fig. 10)

 

With the addition of the Advantage line of rotors and drums, ACDelco has the brake market covered with products ranging from high quality, yet economical, brake parts (Advantage), to premium brake parts (DuraStop) and top-of-the-line brake parts (OE).

 

Some of the features of ACDelco Advantage products include:

·       Non-directional finish - helps the brake pad mate with the rotor properly (Fig. 11, A)

·       Vane configuration matches the OE design - allows for proper cooling and a reduction in noise (Fig. 11, B)

·       Rotor plate thickness matches OE - helps reduce heat checking that may cause premature failure (Fig. 11, C)

·       Mill-balanced - helps the rotor function properly, no extra weights needed

·       Rust preventive coating - reduces the potential for rust developing during storage

·       No machining required - ready to be installed out of the box

·       Chamfer angle matches OE design - helps the rotor fit onto the hub properly

·       12 month/12,000 mile warranty - provides customer confidence

 

The part numbering system for ACDelco Advantage brake offerings will feature an "A" suffix. For example, DuraStop part number 18A816 will be Advantage part number 18A816A.

 

ACDelco Advantage brake parts for the top 100+ GM rotor and drum applications are now available. There are no special order requirements or minimum orders. The top 100+ non-GM applications as well as additional GM applications will be available this fall.
