Frequently
Asked Questions
Welcome to the Fomar Friction FAQ section – here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our brake pads.
Are Fomar products homologated?
Brake pad homologation is the process of approval by relevant institutions, confirming that the pads meet safety and quality standards. It is essential for the legal sale of brake pads. Our pads are homologated by the German TUV, the Spanish IDIADA, and the Polish PIMOT. During the homologation process, the pads are tested for compliance with ECE R90 regulations, assessing braking efficiency, durability, high-temperature resistance, wear minimization, and other safety criteria. Homologation ensures the quality and safety of the brake pads.
Do Fomar brake pads come with a full set of installation accessories?
Our passenger car products come with accessories assembled according to the recommendations of original equipment manufacturers. For the truck market, we offer a complete set of accessories necessary for product installation (the only exception being patented accessories).
What mileage do Fomar brake pads typically achieve?
The mileage that our brake pads can achieve depends on several factors, including vehicle characteristics, load, driving style, and the condition and quality of various brake system components. In racing conditions, mileage may be around 5,000 km, while dynamic city driving may reduce pad life to 10,000 – 25,000 km. On the other hand, mainly highway driving can extend mileage to 20,000 – 50,000 km, and economical driving with engine braking can even reach 40,000 – 80,000 km or more. However, this is a general estimate, and actual mileage may vary depending on operating conditions and individual factors. Regular monitoring of the pads and brake system is essential to ensure driving safety.
What do Fomar brake pads have that other manufacturers' brake pads don't?
Fomar brake pads stand out due to their careful design tailored to the specific continent where they will be used, ensuring optimal performance in various road and climate conditions. Additionally, all our pads undergo thorough testing and response to customer feedback, allowing us to adapt the products to meet customer demands and the unique characteristics of different markets. Fomar pads are also distinguished by high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship, contributing to their durability and braking efficiency. Our products are designed to minimize noise and dust, enhancing driving comfort and environmental care. Moreover, thanks to innovative technical solutions, Fomar pads provide the highest safety during braking, as confirmed by relevant certifications and quality tests.
