KBC heavy duty brake pads are manufactured in South Africa for disc brake systems on passenger, light commercial and heavy duty vehicles. Our G-FORCE range is built to European specifications and covers a wide spread of applications, including vehicles found mainly in neighbouring countries.

Heavy duty brake pads built for local conditions

Southern African operating conditions are hard on friction material. Long descents, heavy loads, heat and dust all shorten pad life and cause fade. Our formulations are made for consistent stopping power, controlled wear and quiet braking under exactly those conditions.

Available for:

• Passenger cars and bakkies
• Light commercial vehicles
• Trucks, buses and heavy commercial fleets
• Off-road and severe duty applications
• Grey market and imported vehicles

Running drum brakes as well? See our brake shoes and brake linings. If discs are scored or causing judder, our brake lathes will skim them true again.

Not sure which part you need?

Send us a photograph or the dimensions and we will identify the exact part for you. It is a free service we have run for years, and it is the fastest way to get the right component when the old part has no legible markings left on it. Get in touch or send the details through and we will come back to you.

Ordering heavy duty brake pads

Heavy duty brake pads are wholesaled to the trade across South Africa and SADC, with trade pricing and fitment matching on request.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between brake pads and brake linings?

Pads are used in disc brake systems and clamp onto a rotor. Linings are used in drum brakes and press outwards against a drum. Many vehicles run both, discs on the front and drums on the rear.

Do you supply for older or imported vehicles?

Yes. Our range includes items specifically for the grey market and for vehicles common in neighbouring countries but rarely stocked locally.

Can you match pads if I do not know the vehicle?

Send us a photograph and the dimensions of the old pad and we will identify it.
