Brakes, Rotors & Pads

Brakes, rotors, and pads are critical components of any vehicle’s braking system, responsible for delivering safe and consistent stopping performance. A typical setup includes a brake disc, also known as a disc brake rotor, paired with brake pads that create friction to slow down the wheels. For improved heat dissipation and bite, many drivers opt for slotted brake rotors, especially in performance or heavy-duty applications.

Ceramic brake pads are known for producing less dust and maintaining stable performance at high temperatures, making them a popular choice for those seeking the best brake pad for everyday use. A complete brakes and rotors kit simplifies upgrades or replacements by ensuring compatibility between components. In vehicles originally equipped with drum brakes, upgrading with a disc brake conversion kit or a rear disc brake conversion kit can enhance braking efficiency, reduce fade, and improve overall control.

Regular maintenance and proper selection of braking components are essential to vehicle safety, especially when upgrading for performance, towing, or rugged driving conditions.
