Hey everyone. I had a curious question. Let's say I want to change the brake pads in my car. Then how can i choose the best replacement pads for my car?

The specificationsfor the brake pads is mentioned in the car manuals always. Please go through your car manual. if you dont have the manual, contact your dealer and ask them to give you specifications of the brake pads used in your car.

Choosing the brake pad depends on the type of brake in your car. If your car has disc brakes, then you will need brake pads which are thinner. But if your car has drum brakes, you will be requiring brake shoes and not the brake pads.

there are few pads, track pads, regular pads, also remember to resurface your rotors - depends on the model of a Porsche, if they're drilled and cut, you  basically have to buy new ones, cant just slap pads on and be fine, because pads wont last long do to, bad surface on the old ones.
