Brake Rotors

Press your brake pedal. Your brake calipers put pressure on your brake pads as they clamp onto your brake rotors. This generates friction, and that friction is what slows and stops your vehicle's wheels and tires. However, the process creates a lot of heat, and brakes that can't scatter it get damaged double time. Your original Acura brake rotors disperse that heat best. Which brake rotors fit your sedan or SUV? It'll have one of four types from the Acura factory: blank & smooth, drilled, slotted, or drilled & slotted. Most cars use either blank & smooth brake rotors or the drilled kind. Heavy-duty SUVs usually use slotted brake rotors. Sports cars and performance SUVs, however, often use drilled & slotted brake rotors. Sooner or later, they all degrade. OEM Acura brake rotors, for all their quality, are no exception. They need to be changed every 70,000 miles or so. If you're trying to figure out if they need to be replaced, though, it's better to look for brake rotor problems. Signs of failing or bad brake rotors include brakes that wobble, weird brake noises, and obvious surface damage. If you end up needing to change them, do it in pairs. That'll make sure you continue to brake evenly. When it's time to order new brake rotors online, take care of it at our auto parts counter.
