Brakes are one of the most important systems in a car, directly affecting comfort and safety. Often we carefully select brake discs and take the brake pads that we have or that the seller recommends.
In the new reality, this approach threatens with high costs – replacing the next set of brake pads along with brake discs or drums. But the market is already flooded with “incomprehensible” Asian brands, and worse, counterfeits for products from well-known European manufacturers, who in reality no longer supply their products to Russia.

Unscrupulous manufacturers mix a lot of cheap steel chips into the friction lining material, causing the brake discs to wear out quickly. The approach is clear: the coarser the abrasive, the “harder” the block. The coefficient of friction and braking efficiency are increased. However, there is a minus: such blocks make a lot of noise, wear out faster and actively wear out the brake discs. In addition, it is more difficult to dose the force on the brake pedal.
You can remove the rear brake pads on Kia Rio/Hyundai Solaris cars by loosening the two guide bolts and sliding the brake caliper to the side.
Fat in pads
Yes Yes! Lubricants are essential for brake pads. They protect the block from accelerated wear and make it “quieter”. The correct proportions of abrasives and synthetic lubricants allow the operator to more precisely control the force applied to the pedals. In addition, the composition must qualitatively dissipate heat, have high structural integrity, so as not to crumble under high loads and temperatures.
Do you think that manufacturers of Chinese counterfeit or penny blocks will carefully select the composition and take care of the characteristics of their products? Unlikely!
What to choose?
Even budget brake pads from well-known brands are not bad for everyday driving. They protect expensive brake discs from premature wear without sacrificing safety. But even their costs have increased quite a bit today, and many are no longer in our country.
That is why optimal brake pads under the Za Rulem brand for foreign and domestic cars have appeared on sale. With high quality, they are cheap, because they are produced in Russia on the most advanced equipment.

Rising spare parts prices and the cessation of deliveries of many auto parts to Russia are forcing us to choose consumables more consciously, as restoration repairs are now too expensive.
