Brake Pads

For your brake system to slow and stop the wheels and tires on your Acura, its brake calipers must clamp down on its brake rotors and create friction. However, they can't do that without a dependable set of original Acura brake pads. They can be one of a few types, and which brake pads your car or SUV needs depends on whether it's an everyday sedan or a sports car or performance SUV. Most vehicles use organic, ceramic, or metallic brake pads. Performance vehicles, on the other hand, usually brake best with the ultimate in durability installed: carbon fiber brake pads. Sooner or later, though, all factory brake pads degrade, even the top-quality variety Acura makes. Look for the signs you should replace them. They range from thinning pad surfaces to a brake warning light on the dash. Your brakes can also shudder, whine, or screech when you press your brake pedal. The worst-case scenario, though, is a loud grind. It means your brake pads have worn away, putting your calipers dangerously close to the rotors, and that brake damage is happening in real time. Otherwise, change them according to your owner's manual's maintenance schedule, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles or so. Genuine Acura brake pads are what you'll need for the fix. They're made by your OEM to fit the model you're driving specifically. Order the real thing with peace of mind. Buy your next set of brake pads online from our auto parts counter today.
