ANCO UNDERGROUND Revolutionizes Corvette Braking with High-Performance Pads

TUMWATER, WA – October 26, 2023 – ANCO UNDERGROUND LLC, a leading innovator in automotive component engineering, today announced the release of their new high-performance brake pads specifically designed for Chevrolet Corvettes. This isn't just another brake pad; it’s a game-changer for Corvette enthusiasts demanding superior stopping power and reliability. ANCO UNDERGROUND, based in Tumwater, Washington, has been quietly building a reputation for tackling tough engineering challenges in the automotive sector. Founded on a commitment to quality and performance, the company focuses on delivering solutions for vehicles that push the boundaries – and the Corvette definitely fits that bill. "We're not about making parts that just fit," says a company spokesperson. "We’re about making parts that enhance the driving experience, and especially the performance envelope." You can reach them at 336-596-7677 or visit their headquarters at 300 Deschutes Way SW Ste 208, Tumwater, WA, 98501-7719. Why Corvette Owners Need These Pads The Corvette is renowned for its speed and handling. But that performance puts a serious strain on the braking system. Stock brake pads simply aren’t always up to the task, especially for aggressive driving, track days, or even just spirited weekend cruises. They fade under hard use, leading to longer stopping distances and a compromised feeling of control. “We saw a real need in the Corvette community for a pad that could handle the heat and stress these cars can throw at it,” explains the ANCO UNDERGROUND engineering team. “Existing options were often either too soft for serious performance, wearing out quickly, or too harsh for comfortable street driving. We wanted to bridge that gap.” The ANCO UNDERGROUND Difference: Engineered for Performance and Longevity These aren't just slapped-together pads. ANCO UNDERGROUND invested heavily in research, development, and testing to create a pad that delivers exceptional performance and lasting durability. Here’s what sets them apart: Premium Compound: The core of these pads is a specially formulated ceramic compound. This material provides a fantastic balance of friction, heat resistance, and noise reduction. It’s designed to deliver consistent stopping power, even under extreme temperatures. We’re talking about seriously hot rotors – the kind you encounter after repeated hard braking on the track. This compound doesn't just handle the heat, it maintains its performance characteristics even when it's scorching. Positive Mold Technology: ANCO UNDERGROUND uses a positive mold manufacturing process. What does that mean? It ensures consistent density and uniform friction material distribution across the entire pad surface. This eliminates hot spots and reduces the risk of cracking or warping, even during prolonged, intense use. Think of it like building a rock-solid foundation for your braking system. Chamfered and Slotted Design: Each pad features chamfered edges and slots. This isn't just for looks. These features help dissipate heat and reduce brake dust. They also minimize noise – nobody wants squealing brakes ruining a great drive! These details aren’t overlooked – it’s about the full driving experience. Hardware Included: ANCO UNDERGROUND doesn’t skimp on the details. Each set of pads includes new stainless steel hardware (shims, clips, and pins) to ensure a secure and rattle-free installation. It’s a complete solution, right out of the box. Rotor-Friendly Formula: Many high-performance pads can be hard on rotors, causing premature wear and warping. The ANCO UNDERGROUND formula is carefully balanced to provide excellent stopping power without excessive rotor wear. It saves you money in the long run. Tested to the Limit These pads weren’t just designed on a computer. ANCO UNDERGROUND subjected them to rigorous testing, both on the street and on the track. They were tested on a variety of Corvette models (C6, C7, and C8) under demanding conditions. The results? Significant improvements in stopping distance, reduced brake fade, and a more confident braking feel. “We put these pads through everything we could throw at them,” says one of the test drivers. “Hard braking, repeated laps, even some emergency maneuvers. They performed flawlessly, time after time. The bite is firm and predictable, and there’s none of that spongy feeling you get with worn-out pads.” Benefits for Corvette Owners: Improved Stopping Power: Shorter stopping distances mean increased safety and confidence. Reduced Brake Fade: Maintain consistent braking performance, even during aggressive driving. Enhanced Braking Feel: Enjoy a firmer, more responsive brake pedal. Longer Pad Life: Save money on replacements with a durable, high-quality pad. Reduced Noise and Dust: Enjoy a cleaner, quieter ride. Peace of Mind: Know that your Corvette's braking system is up to the task.
