I'm sorry if it has already been mentioned prior to this comment but the info about brake fluid being used to cool the brakes is not its purpose. its primary purpose is to provide hydraulic pressure to squeeze the pads against the rotating disc. Having better grades of brake fluid help provide a more consistent brake pressure as the heat transferred from the pads and rotors to the caliper thin the fluid. The higher the boiling point the longer the fluid can resist the heat and therefore thinning reducing brake force. In other words, less brake fade over repeated stops.

Your brakes are only as good as the traction that your tires can provide.

Not to get argumentative, But if heat is the enemy of brakes, Cross drilled ( chamfered) and slotted allow heat to dissipate much faster and avoid rotors from getting warped, glazed or damaged. Its much cheaper to replace your brake parts more frequently ( every 30-45k miles ) than not being able to stop in time and having a collision. I think you generalized too many things and inadvertently misinformed many in this video. I have seen and experienced substantial shorter braking distances ( much less brake fade) by utilizing carbon ceramic brake pads ( Hawk ) and cross drilled ( chamfered) and slotted rotors. I am in the auto service business and NEVER seen any warped rotors which have this design. Not true of solid rotors. Warping and fading is a common issue.
I agree with you about the brake lines and brake fluid types for boil points, . The takeaway, is proper selection of brands, quality and type of use. Street, high performance street, track, etc.

Great information, never knew a great deal about breaks, now I know much more great explanations 😊

[WarwickWong]

Wow! Wow, Wow, and Wow - the accurate, spot on, no B/S Truth about brakes! Super well done.

[bobnomura]

Pretty good job covering that stuff in a short time. You managed to get in a sentence on cross drilling and F1 cars which I thought was good. Cross-drilling is very important for motorcycles because with a solid rotor in the rain that is pucker time unless you constantly drag to front brakes. Waste of time/money for normal cars but it looks cool for guys who want that. Had some minor disagreement on organic pads - I don't think Tire Rack sells any organic pads so they're not in demand ?

[stanleyroberts]

The information i got about slotted/ drill-slotted rotors is that thoes rotors dissabates Heat, which means the rotors will not heat up as much like standard roters, which makes the pads last longer, nuff-said 😮😊

[cristianarias]

Thank you for all the information, videos like this are a blessing.

[Loverest]

Very valuable information. My wife said it was very informative because she realized that she has horrible brakes on her BMW and she’s only using.three when she supposed to be using one.5.1

*Hi Ron: Another superb presentation. Always filled with pertinent, necessary info, your presentations are never too long!*
*However, you neglected to mention: By virtue of their angle slots direct the gasses outward. These gasses are generated by hot chemical binders in the pads that otherwise are trapped between pad-rotor interface. Gasses are directed to rotor periphery and thence to the air stream. However slight, gasses have mass and like water are also subject to centrifugal force.*
*Would love to see interviews with Brembo, Stop Tech and other industry leading technical specialists. Sadly, most engineers worth hearing from are usually reticent but non-engineering marketing types will talk your ears off.*
*Your timing of this video is auspiciously spot-on. Thank you for directing me to Racing Brake. After careful assembly the slotted floater-discs work like a champ in this infernal rain. With fresh ECE 90-compliant ceramic pads, experience informs me they're just as wet-effective as the old, X-drilled and now-cracked discs. Price-worthy water pumpers supreme. Thank you again, love ya' and Cheers!*

I appreciate your break video I think we all can learn as much as possible about brakes and the technology that is in them. Thanks again keep up the great work.

[MrJagot]

What about high carbon rotors vs cast iron?

I recently bought some Brembo front brakes for my 2006 w220 s500, They both came with left side vanes. One side was appropriate, and the other was venting the opposite way. I purchased them from a reputable supplier and was told that's what's being sent out now. I wasn't very happy about that, but I installed them anyway.

I upvoted and subscribed for the following reasons: Hey is a groovy cat and he would be a total bro to chill with at the bar and have a beer with while watching a game and 2: he said universality. Fuck yeah you rock.

[khoalam]

Great information and great explanation. Thank You Sir !

[stevanrose]

I understand the reason behind drilling the rotorsbut I don’t drive like I’m in a race so I’m not hammering the brakes in my trucks. Heat is a big reason for warping rotors.

I'm very interested in upgrading the calipers on my vehicle from floating to fixed because I am so beyond tired of them sticking and causing issues like warped rotors, overheating brakes, loss of acceleration, increased pad wear, loss of fuel economy, etc. I noticed that many of the fixed calipers have slots for rapidly changing pads, which I think is cool for a track, but I don't care much about that for a daily driven street car. I do care a lot about the pads retracting with the pistons away from the rotors though to prevent sticking pads or pads that are constantly in contact with the rotor surface. Because of the slide through design, I've noticed that a lot of the pads for fixed calipers don't come with metal springs or tabs that hold them in place against the piston like what is typically found in floating calipers. Because I wouldn't be tracking my car, ever, I would much rather sacrifice the ability to quickly change pads to have them fixed to the pistons and then just have to remove the caliper when I want to change pads (~30, 000-50, 000 miles). Do these types of brake pads, with metal springs/tabs, exist for fixed piston calipers? Thanks for posting this informative video for beginners!

[LWRC]

You forgot to mention that for the high end car manufacturers, they use rotor blanks with the holes cast in! Just drilling a blank rotor to get the holes will eventually cause them to crack and fail!!!

I’m thinking to upgrade roters and pad on my 2019 Toyota highlander

Awesome video, thank you for this info!
