Pre-assembled brake shoe kits from OPTIMAL are now available to make it easier for garages to fit these vital components. The company says the complete range of 400 part references released will save OPTIMAL customers time and money and the range is set to be continuously extended and developed.

The addition of brake shoe kits completes the OPTIMAL braking range. The pre-assembled kits include brake adjusters, new mounting springs, wheel brake cylinders and brake shoes. Having all of these parts in one convenient kit speeds up work processes and saves time and money.

In contrast to the laborious task of adjusting brake shoes using old adjusters, the use of new brake adjusters of OEM quality enable brake shoes to be adjusted precisely, while new springs of OEM quality ensure parts function faultlessly.  New high quality seals in the wheel brake cylinders offer very effective protection against the loss of hydraulic fluid and the new brake shoes make vehicles safe and stable to drive.

When used as specified in conjunction with DOT 4 hydraulic fluid, OPTIMAL friction linings and brake shoe kits, which are manufactured in accordance with the ECE R90 standard, ensure optimum braking performance.
