Braking System Basics
With nearly 150 years of brake friction technology, today's advancments make choosing the right brake parts for your vehicle more important than ever. Each manufacturer chooses a vehicle specific brake system that matches the type of driving conditions, weight load and speeds they feel the vehicle will most likely endure. The brake pads may be Semi-Metallic, Organic or Ceramic grade. Making sure you choose the correct type of brake pad for your vehicle will insure proper braking and maximize the life of your brakes between each service.

This will insure that you are offered the Original Equipment replacement parts. If you are looking for a budget friendly alternative, we also offer you the choice of standard and basic line products.
