The Winning Combination For Brake Shoes & Kits
It’s a fact… today everyone needs to watch their dollars. Fleets across
the country constantly strive to maintain top braking performance
on their heavy-duty vehicles, while keeping the cost of routine brake
service in check. Shop managers are focused on balancing their parts
supply cost without sacrificing the performance and service life of the
brake job.

Spicer Foundation Brake LLC. VIPro

The Professional's Choice brake shoes are remanufactured, not just
relined, restoring them to original OEM geometry to prevent brake friction block cracking and significantly
extend lining life.
For example:
Shoes are initially inspected for all obvious defects when they arrive
at the plant — such as table deformation, broken welds, excessive
corrosion, deformed webbs and flared ends
All existing rivets and linings are removed
Shoes are washed and shot blasted
All shoes are coined to return the shoe to original geometry
Gauges are used throughout the process to ensure tolerances are
to spec
Torque testing of rivets is performed to ensure proper fit of lining
to shoe
• Bendix remanufactured VIPro
™
shoes are assembled with a precision riveting
machine – ¼" rivets – to ensure correct lining attachment and tightness for
maximum lining service life.
• Our unique shoe coating is proven to prevent rustjacking and extend shoe life.
