Brake pads are essential components of the disc brake system in your vehicle and provide the friction that slows down and stops the wheels. When you press the brake pedal, the caliper that houses the brake pads gets activated, causing the brake pads to squeeze against the brake rotor, creating pressure and slowing down the wheel.
Quality brake pads will provide effective stopping power, produce minimal noise during braking, and display limited wear or deterioration. Also, they deliver consistent performance in diverse driving conditions and produce minimal brake dust, for cleaner, attractive wheels.
Eventually, you will encounter issues with your brake pads, like squealing or grinding noises, a low or spongy brake pedal, and poor or uneven braking performance. Getting a timely replacement is crucial to maintaining your ability to slow down or stop the vehicle at the proper times. This braking ensures your safety and that of others on the road.
