It’s a good day when your car starts. It’s a better day when it stops. Your brakes work hard for you, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. Brake pads are made of many different materials and come in “grades” specially fitted to your car in order to provide you with a sensitive and comfortable range of stopping ability.
The most common brakes are called Disk Brakes. The pads squeeze disk rotors to slow and stop the car. Pads are made to be slightly softer then the disk so they wear away first.
Therefore, aftermarket brake pads may adversely affect your car’s ability to stop. A “general” mixture of pad materials, not tailored for your car’s size and weight, can cause lock-up, grabbing, or lack of sensitivity.
Keep your car starting—and stopping. Visit your dealer mechanic for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) brake pads and all other components.
