About this deal

If you want to avoid cleaning brake dust from your wheels, ceramic pads are your best option. However, they can prove expensive and you may want to go for organic brake pads that give off slightly more debris. Cost

The first development of the modern ceramic brake was made by British engineers for TGV applications in 1988. The objective was to reduce weight, the number of brakes per axle, as well as provide stable friction from high speeds and all temperatures. The result was a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic process which is now used in various forms for automotive, railway, and aircraft brake applications.

While it might seem counter-intuitive, if your car is slow to accelerate, it could mean your brake discs are beginning to fail or even require replacement. If a brake disc becomes warped or corroded, it can cause brakes to seize temporarily, reducing your car’s ability to accelerate. Image Credit: Pexels What causes worn, pitted, or scored brake discs?

It's worth taking into account the following factors to give you an idea of how long your brake pads might last. Where you drive What about drum brakes on the rear? Some manufacturers still fit drums on the rear of lower-end cars because they just aren’t needed as much as the big powerful rotors found on the front. Arguably, AP Racing’s biggest specialty is actually brake calipers, rather than rotors or pads. There’s several to choose from, including the World Radi-CAL 1, which is a two-piece design, or the World Radi-CAL 2 – which offers less mass, improved rigidity and better cooling characteristics. The best of the bunch, though, is the Mono R – a monobloc caliper which is even stronger than the two-piece Radi-CALs. Mono Rs will perform well on any vehicle up to 3500kg! Scored: A scored brake disc will have uniform lines running the entire circumference of its surface. While these lines can be caused by abrasion, they are just as often where the brake pad is not meeting the surface of the disc, leaving unsmooth marks.

We have thousands of brake parts available including pads, discs, drums, shoes, calipers, cylinders, hoses, and cables.

Introduction to the 1965–1967 AMC Marlin". How Stuff Works. 26 October 2007 . Retrieved 14 December 2015. The simplest of disc upgrades is a direct-fit (standard-sized) disc with a performance-orientated surface treatment. These provide an effective hike in braking performance for minimum outlay. They are also as simple to install as standard items. The important thing here, apart from ease of fitment, is the surface treatment, here’s the most common ones you’ll find. Grooved rotors / discs Most of the time the rear brakes are responsible for under 30-percent of the stopping power and used more for stability. In a rotor setup, you’ll nearly always find the rear brakes use smaller calipers and smaller, thinner (often solid) discs. Front discs however will usually be far beefier and most often vented in the middle to help with dissipation. Disc / rotor brakes Motorcycle Mechanics, October 1969, pp.45-47. "Slowdown Lowdown" by John Robinson "...the Lambretta disc brake has only one pad operated by the cable, the other being fixed. The first pad pushes the disc on to the second pad".

The aim of this site is:

A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a “rotor” to create friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The energy of motion is converted into waste heat which must be dispersed. Still-larger discs are used for railroad cars, trams and some airplanes. Passenger rail cars and light rail vehicles often use disc brakes outboard of the wheels, which helps ensure a free flow of cooling air. Some modern passenger rail cars, such as the Amfleet II cars, use inboard disc brakes. This reduces wear from debris, and provides protection from rain and snow, which would make the discs slippery and unreliable. However, there is still plenty of cooling for reliable operation. Some airplanes have the brake mounted with very little cooling, and the brake gets hot when stopping. This is acceptable as there is sufficient time for cooling, where the maximum braking energy is very predictable. Should the braking energy exceed the maximum, for example during an emergency occurring during take-off, aircraft wheels can be fitted with a fusible plug [45] to prevent the tire bursting. This is a milestone test in aircraft development. [46] Automotive use [ edit ] If you can hear a loud screeching sound when braking it's a real warning sign that new brake pads are needed, or at least the current ones require inspection. a b c d e f g h i j k Lentinello, Richard (April 2011).
