Brake Pads

Performance Friction Brakes

Performance Friction refers to the brand and the company that specializes in the manufacture of high performance disc brake pads, made from carbon metallic and Z-rated materials. This company was founded in 1953 but its original name was Bur-Bilt Products. The company initially specialized in the rebuilding of clutches and relining brake shoes. It started small but gradually became a major automotive company that became a supplier for other companies. The company was only incorporated in 1979. It was in 1980 that it began the production of Carbon-Metallic disc pads. This product has been the most profitable and in demand product of the company. It was two years later that the company began manufacturing high performance disc pads.
 
The high performance disc pads became so popular that the company decided to change its name into Performance Friction Corporation in 1984. It was also during this year that the company launched a medium-heavy duty disc pad product line. Later on, the company instituted the first full warranty for commercial vehicles covering pad attachment as well as Carbon Metallic pads. It was in 1990 that Performance Friction Corporation began to dominate the market for racing pad disc in North America, Europe and Japan. Ford Motors contracted Performance Friction Corporation to be it OE supplier for the Ford F-150. The company also became the major supplier to Auto Zone.
 
Brake disc pads and calipers are very specialized products the require precision. Most modern automobiles utilized disc and caliper brake system rather than the drum brake system. The caliper brake system is simpler and more cost effective than the drum brake system. Instead of using foot pad, the disc brake uses brake calipers. The brake disc is directly connected to the wheel. As the wheel rotates, the brake disc also rotates. When the brake pedal is pressed upon, a piston pushes brake fluid inside the brake transmission line. This creates force multiplication, much similar to the operation of a lever. Force multiplication allows the brake caliper to exert great amount of grip force on the brake disc. However, the brake caliper needs the brake pads to effectively stop the wheel from rotating. Defective brake pads should be replaced immediately. Here at Parts Train, you can find Performance Friction brake pads and calipers to replace the original components of your vehicle brake system.
