WBC brake pads and New WBC brake pads are two different friction compounds, not an older and a newer version of the same product. This comparison shows which pad suits which vehicle type and driving load.

WBC brake pad နှင့် New WBC brake pad သည် အဟောင်းနှင့် အသစ် မဟုတ်ဘဲ friction compound နှစ်မျိုး ကွဲပြားခြင်း ဖြစ်သည်။ မည်သည့်ကားအတွက် မည်သည့်ပက်ဒ် သင့်တော်သည်ကို နှိုင်းယှဉ်ပြထားသည်။

Choose WBC Brake Pad: If you drive: a heavy truck, Coaster, Land Cruiser, Patrol, Hilux, towing vehicle, or any car needing strong bite and heat tolerance

Choose New WBC Brake Pad: If you drive: a sedan, hatchback, city car, family SUV (Yaris, Vios, Lancer, Swift, Altis, Prius) and want quiet, clean, gentle braking

	WBC Brake Pad	New WBC Brake Pad
Composition	30–65% metal alloys (steel, iron, copper) + graphite binder	Dense ceramic compound + fine copper fibers — similar to industrial ceramics
Braking Power	Higher bite force — stronger stopping power under heavy loads	Moderate stopping power — consistent and smooth, not aggressive
Heat Tolerance	Excellent — handles extreme heat from repeated hard stops	Good — stable across normal temp range; not for extreme heat
Noise Level	Some noise possible at cold start or heavy braking — normal for metal	Ultra quiet — emits noise above human hearing range under normal use
Brake Dust	Darker dust — can mark alloy wheels; normal for semi-metallic	Fine, light-colored dust — minimal wheel staining, keeps rims cleaner
Rotor Wear	Slightly more rotor wear than ceramic — use quality rotors	Very gentle on rotors — extends rotor life, reduces system cost
Break-in Period	50–100 km moderate driving to bed in properly	150–200 km gentle driving before full performance is reached
Anti-Squeal Shim	Anti-squeal shim included in every set — install between pad backing plate and caliper piston	Anti-squeal shim included in every set — must be installed between pad backing plate and caliper piston
Best For	Heavy vehicles, trucks, towing, 4WD, frequent stop-start driving	Sedans, hatchbacks, city cars, family SUVs — daily commute
Not For	Ultra-quiet, dust-sensitive, or purely city driving requirements	Heavy trucks, Coasters, towing vehicles — use WBC Brake Pad for those
Price Point	Generally competitive — widely available across WBC range	Similar price — value comes from longer life and cleaner performance
WBC Series Code	WBC Brake Pad Series — e.g. D2232, D2180, D1241	New WBC Brake Pad Series — e.g. D2104, D2252, D6039
	WBC Brake Pad — ယာဉ်လေး၊ Truck၊ 4WD၊ နှိပ်ဆွဲမည့်သူများ အတွက်	New WBC Brake Pad — Sedan, City Car, SUV မြို့တွင်းမောင်းသူများ အတွက်

	Typical Use	Recommended WBC
Toyota Coaster / Hiace	Heavy-duty, frequent stops	WBC Brake Pad
Toyota Land Cruiser / Prado	4WD, towing, highway	WBC Brake Pad
Toyota Camry / Lexus ES	Comfort sedan, daily drive	New WBC Brake Pad — quieter
Toyota Yaris / Vios / Corolla	City car, daily commute	New WBC Brake Pad
Toyota Prius / Hybrid	Efficiency-first driving	New WBC Brake Pad
Toyota Highlander / RAV4	Family SUV, moderate load	WBC Brake Pad
Nissan Patrol / Safari	Off-road, heavy load	WBC Brake Pad
Nissan X-Trail	Light SUV, urban/highway	WBC Brake Pad
Nissan Navara D40	Pickup truck, load-bearing	WBC Brake Pad
Mitsubishi Pajero / Triton	4WD, towing	WBC Brake Pad
Mitsubishi Lancer / Galant	Sedan, daily commute	New WBC Brake Pad
Mitsubishi Outlander / ASX	Compact SUV, city use	New WBC Brake Pad
Suzuki Alto / Swift / Ignis	Small city car, light use	New WBC Brake Pad
Mazda 2 / 3 / 6	Passenger sedan/hatch	WBC Brake Pad or New WBC Brake Pad
Subaru Outback / Forester	AWD, varied terrain	WBC Brake Pad
Honda Civic / Accord	Passenger sedan, urban	WBC Brake Pad Rear

⚠ Mixing Types: Do NOT mix WBC Brake Pad and New WBC Brake Pad on the same axle. Always replace pads as a full axle set (both front or both rear).

Rotor Inspection: Always inspect rotor thickness before fitting new pads. Worn rotors reduce pad effectiveness regardless of type.

Break-in Required: Both types require a break-in period. Avoid hard emergency stops for the first 100–200 km after fitting.

OEM Compatibility: WBC pads are engineered to OEM fitment. Match by vehicle model, year, and axle position (Front/Rear).

New WBC Brake Pad on Heavy Vehicles: New WBC Brake Pad is NOT recommended for Coaster, Hiace Commuter, Hilux Vigo (loaded), or towing — use WBC Brake Pad for those.
