How to Solve Poor Braking Performance?
1 Answers
Poor braking performance can be addressed through the following solutions: 1. Replace the brake pads. For a simple and effective improvement in braking force, upgrade to a high-quality set of brake pads. 2. Upgrade to braided brake lines. Often, when people complain about poor braking, they are referring to a soft or unresponsive pedal feel. Many factory-installed brake hoses are made of rubber, which is too soft and prone to expansion during braking, affecting pedal feedback. The most direct way to improve pedal feel is to switch to braided stainless steel brake lines. These lines are reinforced with a layer of sturdy metal wires, making them less likely to expand and providing better pedal feedback. However, installation must be done carefully. After installation, check for any interference during full steering lock, as prolonged stretching or squeezing could lead to potential ruptures. 3. Install tires with better grip. The most direct factor affecting braking distance is the tires, as they are the only point of contact between the car and the road. During braking, they rely on friction to slow the vehicle down. Therefore, high-performance tires can significantly enhance braking performance.
