Rebestos, REMSA, TRW, Bosch, ACDELCO, Textar, etc. Here is some relevant information about brake discs: Introduction: A brake disc, simply put, is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. Brake discs offer excellent braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Classification: Brake discs can be categorized by structure into solid brake discs and ventilated discs. A solid brake disc is a simple metal disc used for braking without any special construction. Ventilated discs come in two forms: slotted discs and drilled discs. Both designs aim to improve the cooling performance of the brake disc, reduce heat fade, and provide better braking capability.
I have some insights on brake disc brands based on my over ten years of driving experience. Commonly used brands include Brembo. When I drive on highways, switching to Brembo provides exceptionally stable braking, making control feel effortless. ATE is also reliable, with German-made quality assurance. I use it for my daily commute in German cars—it offers great value without being flashy. Bosch is another popular choice, with easily available and durable parts. I've tested it in rainy conditions, and it performed well. EBC Brakes suits performance enthusiasts, offering quick brake response but at a higher price. I only use it for weekend mountain drives. Raybestos and StopTech are economical options, ideal for budget-conscious replacements, perfectly adequate for city driving. In short, don’t choose brake disc brands casually—consider your driving habits and balance safety with affordability. Regularly check for wear and don’t wait for problems to arise.
