Brake Modules
 In an effort to further improve the performance and reliability of brake systems PBR designs and develops brake corner modules. Brake corner modules are a combination of knuckle, bearing, brake rotor and brake caliper forming a sub-assembly which can be readily mounted to a new vehicle. This concept delivers a number of tangible benefits to vehicle manufacturers.
PBR's holistic approach to the development of brake corner modules facilitates an improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness). By designing the associated elements as one unit, PBR brake corner modules deliver a number of performance benefits.

Application of Technology
PBR's brake module technology has been adopted by General
Motors in North America on their Chevrolet Corvette and Cadillac
XLR sports vehicles.
