IMPROPER BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

Brake pads need to be of sufficient quality to withstand the heat and stresses that are placed upon the pads. When it comes to brake pads is cheaper better? I don’t know about you but cheap doesn’t necessarily ring true with me when it comes to my safety, the safety of my passengers and other drivers, pedestrians etc. Brake pads come in different grades, made of different materials and naturally come with different price tags. Luckily for us here in the U.S. manufactures have manufacturing standards they have to adhere to when it comes to brake pads.
