Rating of the best brake disc manufacturers for 2020

Saving when buying such an important part as a brake disc can have a negative impact on the movement of the car, safety for both the driver and the companion sitting next to him. Brake discs must be selected carefully, because the car market is flooded with metal products from various manufacturers, which do not always correspond to high quality.

How to choose brake discs

Motorists, mostly newbies who have recently begun to understand the structure of transport, are faced with the difficult task of selecting brake discs. In order not to make a mistake when purchasing, choosing an impeccable set of parts suitable for quality and capabilities, we suggest using some subtleties and tips:

1. Study your car's service book in detail. Read in more detail the paragraph describing the types of braking systems. A distinctive feature lies in the drive: many passenger cars are equipped with hydraulic controls, and trucks and SUVs are equipped and equipped with pneumatics or a mixed control system. The hydraulics are quite effective, but the pneumatic drive creates the easiest braking.
2. Be sure to take into account the design features. Manufacturers of parts and components for vehicles are entering a production level where various experiments can be allowed with the replacement of design, cheaper materials, and a change in manufacturing technology. The most predictable are standard discs, balanced and highly resistant to damage at maximum temperatures. In the near future, ventilated discs will become especially popular, they are more suitable for driving on city roads. The unusual configuration will provide instant cooling, which is very good when slowing down and changing the speed limit.
3. Before installation, decide on the desired circle suitable for your vehicle. The wider the disc gauge, the larger the size of the pads included in the kit, thus the higher the stopping effect.
4. The presence of perforation has an absolutely favorable effect on the gas cushion that appears during friction of the pads and disc. The perforation plane will help get rid of excess moisture.
5. The existence of grooves - radial notches, with the help of which the working surface on the brake discs is cleaned from small dust particles and adhered debris that falls as a result of the movement of the car. They provide uniform wear during use.
6. The anti-corrosive coating is a great advantage, providing protection against corrosion, rust and contamination. There are many types of anti-corrosion agents used, which also greatly influences the choice.
