Frequently asked questions
Are performance brake kits worth it?
For track use, heavy towing or high-power vehicles, yes — if the kit is matched to the vehicle and properly bedded. For normal road use, quality OEM-specification parts usually deliver better cold performance and less noise.
Are OEM brake parts better than aftermarket?
Not automatically. OEM parts match the original specification; a quality aftermarket part built to that specification is equivalent. The specification and test standard matter more than the label.
