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.
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. A)
-
· Vane configuration matches the OE design - allows for proper cooling and a reduction in noise (Fig. B)
-
· Rotor plate thickness matches OE - helps reduce heat checking that may cause premature failure (Fig. 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.
