Braking performance of your car can get affected by heat generated when the brakes are applied.  The reason to increase heat creation in a braking system is to generate added stopping power. A braking system works by converting the kinetic energy of a vehicle into heat through friction, so more heat means more friction and stopping power. This heat generated will affect the braking performance of your car.With the right brake setup, heat problems can be avoided to a greater extent and you can avoid the accidents of your vehicle on the road. Choose the right braking system components: Whi ..read more
