All this leads to deterioration of the system components and consequently poor braking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autotrade.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/brake-caliper-repair-kit-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78251\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The good news is Febest focuses on rubber-metal components and repair kits offering its wide range especially for braking and suspension systems.<\/p>\n<p>Febest parts allow workshops to carry out targeted repairs, extending the service life of the existing caliper, in this case, rather than replacing the complete assembly: Febest supplies caliper brackets, slide pins, dust covers, pistons, rubber seals and repair kits.<\/p>\n<p>According to Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), the average vehicle age in Ireland is 9.9 years old. Irish workshops continue to adapt to older vehicles and challenging operating conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Febest parts cover vehicles mainly from 4 to 27 years old with prevailing Japanese and Korean brands, that include popular Irish models: Toyota Corolla \/ Avensis \/ RAV4, Nissan Qashqai \/ Juke \/ X-Trail, Hyundai i30 \/ Tucson, Kia Sportage \/ Ceed, Mitsubishi ASX \/ Outlander, Mazda 3 \/ 6.<\/p>\n<p>One of the options to order Febest is the official online system ws.febest.eu . In that case shipping on orders over \u20ac300 is free. Another option is via our local distributors FG7, Alliance Automotive Group, Serfac and Stronglines.<\/p>\n<p>All Febest packaging is made of recycled cardboard with no lamination and minimum printing, which is 100 per cent recyclable and friendly to the environment. Check out the official website febest.eu.<\/p>\n<p>Febest product offering allows for sustainable repairs that make financial sense for customers, workshops and motor factors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ireland\u2019s climate places particular stress on the braking system.
