Automotive brakes have advanced leaps and bounds over the past century, but the physics behind how they work remains the same: brakes slow a car down by converting a tire's rotational energy into ...

We've previously discussed the possible pros and cons of cross-drilled brake rotors. The supposed upside of cross-drilling was preventing brake fade by improving gas venting of traditional disc brake ...

Lightweight materials are only part of the equation when it comes to what makes high-performance braking systems superior to factory equipment. The braking system in many mainstream cars is designed, ...
