Why should I install Performance Brake Calipers?

First of all, we should know what a brake caliper is. It is part of the disc brake system, the type most cars have in their front brakes. The brake caliper houses your car’s brake pads and pistons. Its job is to slow the car’s wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors. The brake caliper fits like a clamp on a wheel’s rotor to stop the wheel from turning when you step on the brakes. Inside each caliper is a pair of metal plates known as brake pads. 

When you push the brake pedal, brake fluid creates pressure on pistons in the brake caliper, forcing the pads against the brake rotor and slowing your car.

The caliper assembly lives in your brakes and is connected to the master cylinder through tubes, hoses, and valves that conduct brake fluid through the system. Here’s what you really need to know, though: your brake calipers are really important.

Using the best brake calipers will improve your ride and comfort on the road. There are also numerous other benefits that you can enjoy from upgrading your brake calipers.

1. Protect the brake pads

A high-quality brake caliper completely surrounds the brake pads, keeping them out of harm’s way. They can help prevent dust, grime, and dirt from building up under the pads to ensure they work properly when you need them most.

2. Improve safety

A vehicle that stops efficiently and quickly is safer to drive. Worn-out brake calipers may not function at their maximum efficiency resulting to poor braking performance. If there is an obstacle, roadblock, or car accident in your way, you need to be able to stop quickly so you don’t get hurt or injure anyone else.

3. Enhance performance

Installing brand new brake calipers will improve the overall performance of your vehicle, whether it’s an SUV, car, or truck. They will provide a tighter and more secure squeeze on the brake pads, giving them more grip on the brake rotors.

4. Increase in stopping power

If you have ever had to abruptly step on the brakes, it's likely because you wanted to avoid colliding with another vehicle or a certain object. The best brake calipers will reduce the stopping distance of your vehicle by a large amount, keeping you further away from danger.

Remember, your sports car or performance car is only as good as your brakes. Because if you can’t stop, all that power would be completely pointless.
