Wagner Offers New Edge for Brake Performance

(Akron/Tire Review) Federal-Mogul Corp.’s Wagner brake brand has introduced its new Wagner Edge Brake Pad System. The new line is now available through auto parts distributors, the company said.

Wagner officials said the Edge Brake Pad System “is the first technology engineered specifically for lighter, leaner, more precisely tuned automotive braking systems and the ever-rising consumer demand for superior brake performance and reliability.” Edge brake pads are said to provide “outstanding braking power and virtually silent brake performance in every covered application.”

The company said Wagner Edge pads produced using “laser-shaped friction technology,” which enables engineers to optimize the interaction between the rotor, pad and caliper for each specific application.
