Question 1

Is Rane the same as RBL brake pads?

Accepted Answer

Yes — RBL stands for Rane Brake Lining Ltd, which is the brake division of the Rane Group. Boxes and invoices may show either "Rane" or "RBL" depending on the SKU.

Question 2

Are Rane brake pads OE for my Maruti / Hyundai / Tata?

Accepted Answer

On many models, yes — Rane Brake Lining is a direct Tier-1 supplier on the passenger-car assembly line for Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors and Mahindra. The OE part number on the box and the OE friction formulation match what your car was fitted with at the factory.

Question 3

Do you stock Rane pads for the rear drum brakes of my hatchback?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Rane is one of the strongest brands in India for rear drum brake linings on hatchbacks like the Maruti Swift, WagonR, Alto, Hyundai i10 / i20, Tata Tiago and Tata Altroz. Share your Make, Model, Year and Chassis Number on WhatsApp and we will quote the exact OE part number.

Question 4

What information do I need to share to get the right Rane Brake Lining brakes?

Accepted Answer

We need: (1) Make, Model and Year, and (2) the VIN / Chassis Number of your car (17 characters, found on the windshield base, driver-side door jamb or in the RC book). We do not dispatch any brake part without first verifying the chassis number against the catalogue — this is how we make sure the part that leaves our warehouse is the correct one for your car. If you also know the OE part number on the old pad/disc, or can send a clear photo of the existing brake pad, disc edge and caliper, it helps us cross-check even faster. The only situation where a return is not accepted is if the chassis / engine number itself was given incorrectly at the time of order, so please double-check it from your RC book before confirming.

Question 5

Can I send a photo of the old brake pad or disc to speed things up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please. A clear WhatsApp photo of the worn pad (showing the back-plate part number), the disc edge (showing diameter and any markings) and the caliper helps us match the exact OE fitment quickly — especially useful for facelift variants and imported cars where the chassis number alone can map to multiple part numbers.

Question 6

Where is Rane Brake Lining actually manufactured — is it the same as the European original?

Accepted Answer

Most global brake majors run plants in several countries (for example Italy, Germany, the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic, China, Thailand, India, Mexico and Brazil) to supply car makers worldwide. The same brand box, for the same part number, can therefore be produced at different Rane Brake Lining plants depending on the SKU and production year. The friction formula, tooling and quality standard remain the brand's global specification (and ECE R90 approved where applicable). When we quote you, we share the exact part number and — on request — the country-of-origin printed on the box for that particular SKU.

Question 7

Are Rane Brake Lining brakes available in Bangalore on the same day?

Accepted Answer

Fast-moving Rane Brake Lining pads and discs for popular cars are stocked in our Bangalore warehouses. Orders confirmed (chassis number verified, quote accepted and payment received/verified) on or before 4 PM, Monday to Saturday, are delivered the same day in 2–4 hours within Bangalore. SKUs not in local stock are sourced from our outstation warehouses and typically take 1–7 working days, depending on courier transit and courier holidays.

Question 8

Do you deliver Rane Brake Lining brakes outside Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we ship Rane Brake Lining brake pads, discs and kits across Karnataka and PAN-India through Blue Dart, DTDC, Professional Couriers, DHL and India Post. Outstation deliveries are courier-dependent and may be delayed on courier public holidays.

Question 9

Are these genuine Rane Brake Lining parts or replicas?

Accepted Answer

We supply only genuine Rane Brake Lining parts sourced through authorised channels with proper invoicing. Each box carries the official Rane Brake Lining part number; where applicable, a security label or QR code is included for verification by the brand.

Question 10

How do I confirm the order and pay?

Accepted Answer

Share your Make, Model, Year and Chassis Number (and the OE part number / part photo if you have them) on WhatsApp. We send a quote with the exact part number and price. Once you confirm, we ship — pay by UPI, bank transfer, or card via Razorpay. All orders are prepaid only; we do not offer COD or cash on delivery.

Question 11

What is the difference between ceramic, semi-metallic and organic brake pads?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic pads use ceramic fibres with small amounts of metal — they run quietly, produce very little dust and are kind to alloy wheels, which is why they are popular on premium cars. Semi-metallic pads (NAO/low-met) use steel/iron fibres and bite harder when cold, but produce more dust and a little more noise. Organic / NAO pads are made from non-metallic fibres bonded with resin — softest pedal feel and quietest, but wear faster under heavy use. The right choice depends on your car, driving style and wheel finish.

Question 12

What is a single-compound vs multi-compound (multi-layer) brake pad?

Accepted Answer

A single-compound pad uses one friction material from the back-plate to the contact face. A multi-compound pad has an underlayer (between the back-plate and the friction material) that improves heat handling, reduces noise and protects the back-plate — common on European OE pads from ATE, Textar, Brembo and others. For high-performance use, brands like EBC and Brembo also offer pads with different compounds front vs rear, or different compounds for street vs track.

Question 13

Are carbon-ceramic (CCM / PCCB) brake discs available?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for cars originally fitted with carbon-ceramic discs (Porsche PCCB, Mercedes-AMG Carbon Ceramic, BMW M Carbon Ceramic, Audi RS Ceramic, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren), we can source genuine OE replacement discs and matching pads on indent. Carbon-ceramic discs are very expensive and have specific bedding-in and pad-pairing requirements — share your VIN and we will quote the exact OE part numbers.

Question 14

What is the difference between drilled, slotted and plain brake discs?

Accepted Answer

Plain (smooth) discs are the OE choice for most cars — quietest, best pad life, lowest cost. Slotted discs have machined grooves that sweep gas, dust and water off the pad face — better wet bite and consistent feel under hard use, common on sport cars. Drilled discs add cross-drilled holes for cooling and looks but can be prone to micro-cracks under track abuse — best as a premium street upgrade. Drilled-and-slotted combines both.

Question 15

Which DOT brake fluid should I use — DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5.1?

Accepted Answer

Use what your owner's manual specifies. Most modern cars use DOT 4; many German performance cars and ABS/ESP systems specify DOT 4 LV or DOT 5.1 (higher boiling point). Never mix DOT 5 (silicone) with DOT 3/4/5.1 (glycol). Brake fluid is hygroscopic — replace every 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever is earlier.
