Each attribute has a spoke with an associated value. Higher values are farther from the center = Better Performance. Lower numbers are closer to the center = Less Performance. ![PerformanceDetails-04](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/Spider%20Graphs/PerformanceDetails-04.png?width=350&height=249&name=PerformanceDetails-04.png "PerformanceDetails-04") ![SpiderExplanation\_Graph-01\_White.svg\_www](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/Spider%20Graphs/SpiderExplanation_Graph-01_White.svg_www.png?width=550&height=405&name=SpiderExplanation_Graph-01_White.svg_www.png "SpiderExplanation_Graph-01_White.svg_www") ![SpiderExplanationKey-02](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/Spider%20Graphs/SpiderExplanationKey-02.png?width=200&height=228&name=SpiderExplanationKey-02.png "SpiderExplanationKey-02") --- Copper-Free Friction Formulas In 2010, the states of California and Washington enacted legislation that will require brake pads sold or installed in both states have reduced levels of copper and other heavy metals. 2015- Leaf A: The first level of the legislation began in 2014 in California and in 2015 in Washington. All brake manufacturers and importers were required to self-certify that their brake pads contained no more than 0.1% by weight of asbestos, cadmium, chromium, lead, and/or mercury. 2021 – Leaf B: On January 1, 2021, the second phase of the legislation went into effect. This phase required brake manufacturers and importers to self-certify that their brake pads contain no more than 5% by weight of copper. 2025 – Leaf N: The last level will go into effect in on January 1, 2025. Both states will require all brake manufacturers and importers to self-certify that their brake pads contain no more than 0.5% by weight of copper. ![leaves](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/Spider%20Graphs/leaves.png?width=350&height=140&name=leaves.png "leaves") ![QBBS\_Brake\_Pad\_Boxes\_GoodBestFleet](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/QBBS_BrakePads_LandingPage/QBBS_Brake_Pad_Boxes_GoodBestFleet.png?width=500&height=126&name=QBBS_Brake_Pad_Boxes_GoodBestFleet.png "QBBS_Brake_Pad_Boxes_GoodBestFleet") All Quality-Built Brake Pad formulations are manufactured in accordance with this legislation. # Quality-Built Offers a Full Line of Brake Pads for Every Vehicle and Driver Type. ![QB\_Brake\_Pads\_550](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/QB_Brake_Pads_550.png?width=250&height=205&name=QB_Brake_Pads_550.png "QB_Brake_Pads_550") ### QB Brake Pads by Quality-Built ![WF\_Brake\_Pad\_Box\_550](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/WF_Brake_Pad_Box_550.png?width=250&height=205&name=WF_Brake_Pad_Box_550.png "WF_Brake_Pad_Box_550") ### Quality-Built Work Force Brake Pads ![Quality-Built\_Premium\_550](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quality-Built_Friction_LandingPage/Quality-Built_Premium_550.png?width=250&height=205&name=Quality-Built_Premium_550.png "Quality-Built_Premium_550") ### Quality-Built Premium Brake Pads [![FindOutMoreButton](https://quality-built-black-series.motorcarparts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/QBBS_BrakePads_LandingPage/FindOutMoreButton.png?width=175&height=38&name=FindOutMoreButton.png "FindOutMoreButton")](https://quality-built-brake-pads.motorcarparts.com?hsLang=en) # Digital Innovation **Cultivate and grow your business together with us**   Our unique way of presenting content and designs, MPA's Innovation Studio can help you reach your potential customers through many different social media plans, landing pages, and HTML email campaigns.   At MPA's Innovation Studio, we gather detailed consumer reports and data during a comprehensive research approach with detailed analytics to ensure your brand gains proper attention with the appropriate web presence.        **Cultivate and grow your business together with us** With our unique way of presenting content and designs, MPA's Innovation Studio can help you reach your potential customers through many different social media plans, landing pages, and HTML email campaigns.
