14 bolt full float disc brake conversion

Does your car have disc brakes? The chances are there if it is a new car. However if it's very old it might not. Do you know why car manufactures does full float disc brake conversion? The answer is for safety. <br>The benefits of 14 bolt full float disc brake conversion is that it stops faster and has less fade than the older style of drum brakes. <br>A drum brake simply looks like a flat plate with a large lip. The drum pads sit inside the drum brake and press against the lip. There is little room for the heat build up to escape due to the way the drum brake is packaged. The brake pad overheats with the lack of cooling and starts to lose some of its ability to cause friction with the drum. This is known as brake fading and when you apply brake, it starts to fail and you cannot stop as fast.<br>

  1. 14 bolt full float disc brake conversion Does your car have disc brakes? The chances are there if it is a new car. However if it's very old it might not. Do you know why car manufactures does full float disc brake conversion? The answer is for safety. The benefits of 14 bolt full float disc brake conversion is that it stops faster and has less fade than the older style of drum brakes. A drum brake simply looks like a flat plate with a large lip. The drum pads sit inside the drum brake and press against the lip. There is little room for the heat build up to escape due to the way the drum brake is packaged. The brake pad overheats with the lack of cooling and starts to lose some of its ability to cause friction with the drum. This is known as brake fading and when you apply brake, it starts to fail and you cannot stop as fast.

  2. Another problem with drum brakes is when they became wet. It again lose the ability to create a lot of friction due to water. We all know that less friction causes less stopping ability.  Disc brakes were first used on racing cars. A car with disc brakes could go further into a corner before braking. Their design is the reason why the disc brakes worked better. Unlike a lip on a drum brake the pads on a disc brake system rub against the disc or rotor. This rotor is exposed to the air and can bleed off heat much faster than a drum. It is more resistant to brake fade as it can get rid of heat faster and thus enabling a car to stop faster.  In addition to the advantage of not fading fast, the disc brake also stands firm from the problem with water. Since the disc is exposed a light exhort of the pads against the rotor will prevent most of the water, which helps the disc brake system to stop faster in the wet also.  

  3. Today you will find a lot of cars which have been upgraded to 14 bolt full float disc brake conversion.
