Brake System Components:

Rotors:

Vented rotors on the front and rear wheels help dissipate heat generated during braking, preventing brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping power.

Pads:

Brake pads are designed to press against the rotors, creating friction and slowing or stopping the vehicle.

Calipers:

Calipers are responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads, which in turn interact with the rotors to stop the vehicle.

Brake Lines:

Connect the brake master cylinder to the wheel brakes, allowing hydraulic pressure to be transferred to the calipers.

Master Cylinder:

Generates hydraulic pressure to activate the brakes.

ABS:

Helps prevent wheel lock-up during braking, allowing for greater steering control.

ESC:

Provides stability and helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle, especially during cornering or on slippery surfaces.

Brake Kit Upgrades:

Big Brake Kits:

Some aftermarket big brake kits are designed to upgrade the stock SRX brakes, offering improved stopping power and better heat resistance, particularly under sustained high-heat conditions.

Performance Brakes:

Performance brake kits may incorporate higher-grade materials like ceramic pads and upgraded rotors to provide enhanced stopping performance, reduced noise, and less dust.
