TRW Automotive AfterMarket GDB1757 Brake Pad

The TRW GDB1757 is a high‑performance brake pad designed for the rear disc brakes of select Porsche models, including the Cayman and Boxster. Engineered with precision, this aftermarket component delivers reliable stopping power while maintaining durability under demanding driving conditions.

Key Features

• Optimized Friction Material: The pad incorporates a proprietary blend of ceramic and metallic fibers that provides consistent braking performance across a wide temperature range. This composition reduces brake fade during prolonged use, ensuring safety on both daily commutes and spirited track sessions.
• Low Noise & Vibration: Advanced surface engineering minimizes squeal and chatter, delivering a quiet ride even at high speeds. The pad’s design also dampens vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort.
• Extended Wear Life: By balancing friction coefficient with material hardness, the GDB1757 offers an extended service life compared to many standard aftermarket pads. This longevity translates into fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over time.
• Compatibility & Fitment: The pad set is engineered for seamless integration with Porsche’s rear disc brake system. It matches OEM dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for additional modifications.

Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

Installing the TRW GDB1757 is straightforward for technicians familiar with rear disc brake systems:

1. Remove the existing brake pads and inspect the caliper pistons for wear or damage.
2. Clean the pad surfaces and surrounding components to ensure no debris interferes with contact.
3. Place the new GDB1757 pads into the caliper, aligning them with the mounting slots.
4. Reinstall the brake caliper onto the disc rotor, securing it with the supplied hardware.
5. Pressurize the brake system to seat the pads against the rotors, following manufacturer guidelines for hydraulic pressure.

Performance Benefits
