Brake pads 

The purchase of spare parts for regular car service is important part of the vehicle operations. In particular, this applies to one of the main components that ensure traffic safety - the brake system, the parts of which must be replaced after a certain mileage. The main components of brake system that are most susceptible to wear are brake pads and brake discs, which operate in aggressive conditions and under serious daily stress. The pads are changed according to the mileage determined by the technical regulations of the automaker, but most often replacement is carried out when critical wear is detected. In modern car brands a wear sensor is mounted into the brake pad itself which signals that you need to visit the car service station and replace.

Where to buy brake pads?

Replacing worn out elements of the brake system raises several questions at once. Which brake pads are best for you?

Front and rear brake pads - general features

High-quality brake pads must provide effective braking, protect the brake disc/drum from damage and deformation, and be fully compatible with other structural elements of the system. Therefore, when choosing brake pads, it’s important to consider the brand/model of the car, and be fully compatible with other structural elements of the system. Considering that on passenger cars, most often the front brake mechanism is disc, and the rear drum, they should be selected separately: drum brake pads, and pads for the disc mechanism. Due to this, two main types of brake pads are distinguished along the installation axis:

• Rear brake pads manufactured considering the design features of the mechanism, have a semicircular shape corresponding to the radius of the working surface of the drum brake mechanism;
• The front brake pads are flat and have smaller dimensions, they are installed on the caliper.

On average, the rear brake pads are changed twice less often than the front ones, because all the load falls on the front brakes providing a high frictional force to slow down the vehicle.

Brake pads classification

Regardless of the axis of the installation, the principle of operation and the design of the brake pads has standard values. The only difference is the shape, material of manufacture of the frame (substrate) and the friction lining. The composite material for the manufacture of friction linings has a complex composition. But for the most part, they are made from mineral and organic substances, with the inclusion of shavings of soft metals and other additives. Pads are classified not only by the type of brake mechanism, but also by the material of manufacture:

• Semi-metallic - this type of elements includes (from 30 to 60%) powder of copper, graphite and iron, mixed with inorganic components;
• Organic - made from rubber fibers, high-temperature resins, glass, carbon components;
• Metal - made of hardened steel, without any synthetic additives;
• Ceramic - consists of ceramic fibers, a proportion of non-ferrous metals and a small proportion of iron.

Higher price ceramic brake pads provide the best braking performance. When installing ceramic pads, the wear of the brake discs is reduced to a minimum, the braking force is increased and the overall service life of the system increases.

How to choose brake pads?

The whole range of rear and front brake pads is divided into quality categories - original, aftermarket components and analogs, which are most often exported. How to deal with wide variety of products?

• Original components - which are created according to the design features of the brake system, most of them go to the conveyor, and a smaller share goes for warranty repairs and for free sale.
• Aftermarket parts and analogues of licensed spare parts are components produced by partner firms of the auto concern, which manufacture pads using the same technologies, but under their own brand and at a more reasonable price than the original.

Attention! There is no cost savings when choosing rear and front brake pads. The resource of high-quality pads is at least 20-25 thousand km of run, and can vary up or down, due to driving style and operating conditions. When using a car in city mode, the resource of even an original product is reduced by almost one and a half times.
