DriveTec braking programme expands

By autotech-nath on September 23, 2026

Available exclusively through GSF Car Parts, the DriveTec braking programme is engineered to meet the technical requirements of modern, heavier vehicles while focusing on value and reliability.

It continues to expand in line with market trends, offering garages fast-moving service items, specialist components and ancillary products. Bi metallic brake discs are the latest addition to the range, reflecting OEM engineering direction. They feature a dual material construction, with a cast iron friction surface paired with a lightweight aluminium hub and are up to 20% lighter than conventional alternatives, supporting improved thermal control and braking consistency.

The range of pads include ECE R90 approved items for modern vehicles, EV specific pads with AAA noise ratings and ultra low dust, and the UK’s first aftermarket LCV specific pad range, delivering up to 30% longer life than OE equivalents. Precision engineered discs, OE matching shoes and drums support reliable stopping power and easy fitment across legacy and ageing vehicles.

The ancillary programme includes DOT rated brake fluids, fast acting brake cleaner, brake hoses, calipers and caliper slider kits, plus fitting kits to ensure correct installation and long term performance. It boasts strong availability and fast delivery across all makes and models, supported by GSF’s nationwide network of 217 branches, regional hubs and national distribution centres.
