They prevent direct contact between brake pistons and backing plates. Thus vibration transfer will be effectively dampened.<\/p>\n<p>Textar has extensively developed these dampening shims with the innovative textile-like texture, which dampens and decouples the brake pad effectively from other braking components. The texture is complemented with a unique adhesive to further enhance the dampening function, as it also dampens high frequent vibrations. These unique components are called Q+, meaning \u2018quiet\u2019, while the \u2018+\u2019 symbolises the improved dampening characteristics. Textar Q+ dampening shims can be easily identified through the textile surface structure as well as the imprinted Q+ Logo.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Irwin, technical manager at TMD Friction, said: \u201cBeing at the forefront of technology is one of TMD Friction\u2019s objectives and the Textar Q+ is the latest in a long line of innovations to help improve the driving experience for customers worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comprehensive tests, including a dynamometer test and on the road test, showed significant comfort improvements with Q+. The best results will be achieved when new Q+ brake pads are combined with Textar brake discs as these components complement each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global leader in OE brake technology, TMD Friction, has developed Textar Q+, an innovative dampening shim to provide the ultimate noise reduction, which is now available on a wide range of its premium Textar brake pads.
