When you customize your brake system, you'll want only the highest quality brake pads, rotors, caliper paint, break lines and brake fluid. Good braking means better stopping and handling in high speed or undesirable conditions.
Brake accessories are an important component of your new brake job. Stylish pedals, lights, and kits will help you customize your car's look and feel. Adding brake accessories will help to improve the quality of your brakes for a longer lasting, better performing system.
Caliper paint is used to distinguish a car's braking capabilities. Caliper paint needs to handle high amount of heat because your brakes get very hot during the course of driving. Using custom caliper paint on your brake calipers will give your car a sleek look, matching the body paint color.
The best brake fluid will remain stable even under the harshest of conditions. This solution is compressed over and over again to help relieve pressure on the brakes. The most commonly used brake fluids have extremely high boiling points and very low freezing points, helping to preserve your brake system. Replace your brake fluids every couple of years to ensure the highest quality braking.
Brake pads are the true stopping power of the braking system. The friction between the pads and discs is what slows your car down, making it a very important piece of machinery. For cars that are used to higher speeds, the best applications are softer brake pads because they are designed for more dynamic driving.
Brake lines are a pivotal interconnecting component of your brake system. Highly durable steel braided brake lines can sustain very high temperatures without expanding or breaking. The best quality brake lines provide a noticeably stiffer, and more responsive feel that will improve your car's stopping.
Rotors are also commonly known as brake discs. Rotors are compressed with brake pads to slow your car down. This braking component is attached directly to the wheel, and is usually made of specialized carbon materials in faster vehicles. Drivers seeking the highest quality braking should have rotors checked and replaced every couple of years if there is warping or cracking.
