It’s Either The Pad or The Rotor

Brakes is arguably the most crucial system in any vehicle as they are responsible for dissipating the forward motion which anyone can agree, cannot be maintained indefinitely. They also save lives in emergencies, avoid potential disastrous collisions and being the Yin of the engine’s Yang.

Used brake systems as well as individual used brake parts can save you a lot of money when sourced and installed correctly. Front brake pads are commonly known to be the first to be replaced and extra care should be exercised when inspecting used brakes for replacements. The rotors are designed to be worn down with periodical resurfacing by experienced professionals to extend their lives.

While replacing the pads with used brakes or factory refurbished ones on your own can be supremely practical and cost effective, resurfacing the rotors on your own is a different issue. The tools and skills necessary to perform quality resurfacing would be out of reach for most people and getting them replaced is the most common and effective solution.
