When buying high-performance brakes, having the right pad and rotor combination is essential for optimizing performance. You need a combo that is able to work in tandem to provide the aggressive, safe and quiet level of braking required. Quality manufacturers take the time to develop pads and rotors that work well together. We group these products up into families or kits. This makes it easy for the customer to know which products work well together. Performance brakes need to serve several purposes. They must be aggressive enough to take to autocross, but quiet enough to drive around on the street. We take these factors into account when engineering our performance pads and rotors.
Depending on the application, Performance rotors may come with S-Groove slot, maximizing pad-to-rotor contact for:
- Improved pedal feel
- Stronger bite
- Smoother braking
- Increased pad life
Ceramic brake pads
Ceramic brake pads are the best option for replacement pads. Made from ceramic materials mixed with copper fibers, ceramic pads were designed for driver comfort. They are the least noisy, produce very little messy brake dust, and are stable over a wide range of temperatures. Additionally, they last the longest. Ceramic brake pads are quiet, comfortable, and durable pads, excellent for daily driving.
These performance kits deliver the best design and materials for each application. Drivers of high-performance vehicles who use our Performance brake kits will experience a stronger bite without sacrificing smooth braking.
