1. Bedding in your brakes
Properly break in your new brake pads to your new brake rotors to ensure an even layer of pad deposits on the brake rotor which helps ensure quiet brakes.
2. Cool Down Period
Especially after just using the brakes aggressively, allow a 5-minute cool-down period where you can allow the brakes to cool. This reduces rotor warping and cracking from overheating.
3. Inspection and Maintenance
Regularly check your brake pads and brake rotors for excessive wear and tear, cracks, or any unusual behavior from your braking system.
4. Proper Brake Pad Material
Choosing the right brake pad material for your driving style helps prevent excess heat and wear. Choose either ceramic or semi-metallic pads, depending on your needs.
5. Smooth Brake Application
Avoid slamming on the brakes, as it can wear down your brake system prematurely. Always apply the brakes smoothly and gradually to reduce wear.
