The brake calipers clamp onto the brake disc to generate braking force. When you press the brake pedal, the calipers grip the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer excellent braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Classification of Brake Discs: Brake discs come in various types, including carbon ceramic brake discs, slotted brake discs, slotted and drilled brake discs, dual-layer heat dissipation brake discs, and solid brake discs, among others. Things to note when replacing brake discs: The front and rear brake discs have different sizes, with the front discs generally being larger than the rear ones. When replacing brake discs, it is advisable to choose original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts or those produced by reputable brands.
