ChangeSaver™ brake shoes feature 45% more friction material than the competitor’s standard shoe, as well as Anchor’s PadLock™ construction that reduces vibration and bent ends. ChangeSavers™ are available in two thicknesses – 1.5” (H2) and 2” (H4), both with full 3-3/8” wide back.

Anchor’s unique friction material, the PadLock™ steel backing plate and a proprietary manufacturing process produce a durable shoe that delivers outstanding performance – a real ChangeSaver™!
