Brake Systems

THE VGX BRAKE PAD PROGRAM includes Premium Ceramic, Premium Semi-Metallic, Mid-Grade Ceramic, and Severe Duty formulations. Each line of pads feature proprietary friction formulas, unique shims, and a patented shim attachment process resulting in a noiseless, extremely low dusting brake pad with industry leading performance and wear characteristics. Our VGX Brake Pad Program is the only line to offer 100% mechanically attached shims. In addition, these integrally molded pads follow original equipment design specifications in areas such as chamfering, slotting and wear sensor design.

VGX COMPLETE BRAKE KITS: AutoPartSource also offers our often imitated VGX "Clamshell" Brake Pad Kit. However, VGX brake kits are the only kits that come complete with all the necessary hardware to do a trouble-free brake job. The VGX Clamshell Kit includes: VGX Premium Pads with shim attached, a complete hardware kit and a tube of caliper grease. All components of these kits are clearly visible because they are shrink-wrapped on protective cardboard before being slid inside the informative graphic box.

PERFORMANCE PLUS BRAKE PADS: For the economy minded, our Performance Plus line offers an entry level semi-metallic brake pad. These brake pads are manufactured with the same time-tested formula as their great performing VGX counterparts. The Performance Plus Brake Pads have been recently expanded to over 275+ part numbers, are slotted and chamfered to OE specifications, and are non-shimmed.

Brake Rotors/Drums

THE VGX PLATINUM SERIES ROTOR is our premium line, and after undergoing a recent makeover the best has just gotten better.

The new and improved dry-oil protection coating protects longer than even our latest phosphate coating. Dipped and not sprayed, the dry-oil finish protects fabulously on both vented and non-vented rotors. VGX Premium Platinum Series Rotors are "Ready-To-Go", no need for washing before installation. Out-of the-Tub and on the vehicle: How much easier can it get!
