Rotor Rotors
Brake rotors – there is more to you car’s wheel than the tire
When you think of the wheels of your car you think of the tire that is its most visible part. And since you need to replace the tires several times during the life time of a car you will probably have spent time choosing new tires for your car. If you were to think beyond the tires you may think of the hub caps, which are essentially for a decorative function and do not really have much more to do. Then beyond hub caps you may think of the hubs themselves, you would have seen them when you replaced a flat tire.
But if you are to take a little longer and look at the wheel of your car you will spot the brake rotors. It is against the brake rotors that brake pads are pressed to stop the car. Brake pads have to essentially help create friction but brake rotors have a more complex function. They have to create friction and they also need to be able to dissipate the heat generated so that the brake system components do not over heat. And they also need to transmit the retarding force created by the friction to the wheel axle which will slow down the motion of the wheels and therefore make the car slower.
And if your car is a few years old it makes sense to consider going in for the latest brake rotors. You have a choice of drilled and slotted brake rotors. Drilled brake rotors have holes to allow the heat to dissipate when the brake pads are being pressed against the brake rotors. Slotted brake rotors have slots to do the same. Slotted brake rotors offer more area to generate friction and are therefore preferred for high performance applications. They do wear out the brake pads faster though and you should consult your car mechanic whether they are really meant for you before making a decision.
When you improve the braking system of your car you improve your drive a lot. You will enjoy a confident and less stressful drive. You can see the latest brake rotors at www.ilovebodykits.com.
