Brakes wear down easily because they work hard for you every single time you drive. The harder it is for your car to stop, the more work they do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_214624047-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mechanice inspecting brake parts on vehicle\" class=\"wp-image-29290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_214624047-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_214624047-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If you suspect you may need new brakes, look no further. In this article, we will show you how to tell if you need new brakes and other things to think about if it turns out you do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signs-you-need-new-brakes\"><strong>Signs You Need New Brakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The average lifespan of a brake pad is between 25,000-65,000 miles. If your brakes aren\u2019t close to that mileage then you probably don\u2019t need replacements yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/stencil.default.jpg\" alt=\"Vehicle Odometer\" class=\"wp-image-29541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/stencil.default.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/stencil.default-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">However, if you <em>are <\/em>in that range, there\u2019s a good chance you may need new brakes soon. We suggest you take the time to listen to your brakes when you step on your brake pedal. If it makes any unusual screeching or squealing sounds, that is usually a classic sign that you need to replace your brakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tr><th><div class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Brake Pads - Before\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/th><th><div class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Brake Pads - After\"><\/div>\n<\/th><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">BEFORE<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">AFTER<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You may also tell if you need new brakes by doing a physical inspection. You can see the visible wear-and-tear of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/buying-new-brakes\/\" aria-label=\"DFB-Blog brake pads 1777558159\">brake pads<\/a> or even feel it with your touch. The type of brakes you need may vary depending on whether your vehicle is an off-roader, sports car, or family sedan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/brake_pads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_9912-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"R1 Concepts Brake Pads\" class=\"wp-image-29549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_9912-Edit.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_9912-Edit-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-different-types-of-brakes\"><strong>Different Types of Brakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Aside from differences in performance, brakes also differ in materials. There are three main types of brakes: <em>organic<\/em>, <em>semi-metallic<\/em>, and <em>ceramic<\/em>. Your brake\u2019s price point is determined by the materials they\u2019re made from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">For example, choosing <em>organic <\/em>brakes would mean you would be choosing the most affordable choice. You would also be going with the option that releases the most \u201cbrake dust.\u201d This means the brakes won\u2019t last as long and will corrode faster than other options. Organic brakes are best for light, daily driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/semi_metallic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/r1concept-semi-metalic.png\" alt=\"R1Concepts Semi-metallic Series\" class=\"wp-image-29533\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/semi_metallic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Semi-metallic <\/em>brake pads<\/a>, on the other hand, are better performing pads. Why semi-metallic? Because they contain some ceramic. These brakes are used for heavier cars that go on daily drives. Fully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/detail_catalog\/index\/Brake-Pads\/Semi-Metallic\/\" aria-label=\"DFB-Blog metallic brake pads 1777558159\">metallic brake pads<\/a> are cheaper than semi-metallic and are mostly found on commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/ceramic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/r1concept-ceramic.png\" alt=\"R1Concepts Ceramic Series\" class=\"wp-image-29532\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/ceramic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Ceramic <\/em>brake pads<\/a> are the most expensive type on this list. However, they are also the most high-performing. Ceramic pads are used on race cars and other vehicles that regularly drive at high speeds. The great news? They last longer than metallic brakes under the same conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5991\" height=\"3372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NZ6_8305-Edit-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"R1 Concepts Brake Rotors, Calipers, Brake Pads and Hardware\" class=\"wp-image-27150\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-your-brake-pads-the-problem-or-are-there-other-parts-in-need-of-attention\"><strong>Are Your Brake Pads the Problem, or are There Other Parts in Need of Attention?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The brake system consists of many co-dependent parts. Sometimes, the brake pads aren\u2019t the issue. Brake calipers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/choose-the-right-brake-rotor-pattern\/\" aria-label=\"DFB-Blog rotors 1777558159\">rotors<\/a> generally have longer lifespans than brake pads, but if you\u2019ve replaced your brake pads and the problem persists, you may want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/11-signs-indicating-brakes-need-service\/\" aria-label=\"DFB-Blog check out your calipers and rotors 1777558159\">check out your calipers and rotors<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pads.png\" alt=\"2 Sets of R1 Concepts Brake Pads\" class=\"wp-image-29538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pads.png 700w, https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pads-600x195.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brake-pads-are-sold-in-pairs\"><strong>Brake Pads Are Sold in Pairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">However, brake calipers and rotors may be sold as individual items. If you have problems with brake pads, the best thing to do is replace all of them with new ones. This makes it easier for you in the future because when you need new ones again, you\u2019ll know to replace all of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/brake_caliper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/caliper.jpg\" alt=\"R1 Concepts Brake Calipers\" class=\"wp-image-26365\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">As mentioned, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r1concepts.com\/brake_caliper\" aria-label=\"DFB-Blog brake calipers 1777558159\">brake calipers<\/a> and rotors may come in singles because of their generally longer lifespan. The way they break also differs. It\u2019s possible for one rotor or caliper to break while the other works just fine. For these parts, it\u2019s better to replace them as you see fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The brake system is fairly simple to understand.
