Jaguar and Land Rover Brake Pads

Your vehicle's disc brake system is responsible for slowing – and eventually stopping – the rotation of your wheels. There are three major components to a disc brake system, and your brake pads are one of them.

What Brake Pads Do

When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid through the lines and hoses. The building pressure of that fluid forces the brake calipers to clamp onto the brake rotors and create the friction needed to stop your vehicle's movement.

However, both the calipers and rotors are made of metal. If they made direct contact, the parts would suffer permanent damage. Your brake pads cushion that contact while also absorbing some of the heat generated when you brake.
