Are the rear brakes of the ATS-L Brembo?
1 Answers
The rear brakes of the ATS-L are Brembo, and all four wheels use Brembo brakes. Brembo is committed to improving system performance, which is why it invests heavily in research and development. With over 390 engineers working in the R&D field, the company continuously seeks more innovative solutions. Brake pad maintenance methods: 1. Under normal driving conditions, inspect the brake pads every 5,000 kilometers. Check not only the remaining thickness but also the wear condition of the pads, whether the wear on both sides is even, and whether the pads retract smoothly. Any abnormalities must be addressed immediately. 2. Brake pads generally consist of two parts: the iron backing plate and the friction material. Do not wait until the friction material is completely worn out before replacing the pads. For example, the front brake pads of a Jetta have a new thickness of 14 mm, with a replacement limit of 7 mm, including over 3 mm of iron backing plate thickness and nearly 4 mm of friction material thickness. Some vehicles come with a brake pad warning function; once the wear limit is reached, the dashboard will alert you to replace the pads. Pads that have reached their usage limit must be replaced, as continuing to use them will reduce braking effectiveness and compromise driving safety. 3. When replacing, use the original manufacturer's brake pads to ensure the best braking performance and minimal wear between the pads and discs. 4. When replacing the pads, always use specialized tools to retract the brake caliper pistons. Avoid using pry bars or other tools to force them back, as this can bend the caliper guide screws and cause the pads to seize. 5. After replacement, press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the pads and the disc. Failure to do so may result in no braking on the first press, which can lead to accidents. 6. Newly replaced brake pads require a break-in period of 200 kilometers to achieve optimal braking performance. Drive cautiously during this period.
