The Scion xA is equipped with disc brakes on the front wheels. These typically consist of brake pads, calipers, rotors, and associated hardware.
The rear brakes on the Scion xA are drum brakes. These are less common than disc brakes in newer vehicles but are still reliable for the rear axle.
The Scion xA includes an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). ABS helps prevent wheel lock-up during braking, especially on slippery surfaces, improving steering control during emergency stops.
Ksport and Wilwood offer big brake kits for the Scion xA, which include larger calipers, rotors, and other components to enhance stopping power and heat dissipation.
These rotors, offered by companies like R1 Concepts, improve brake performance by increasing airflow and reducing brake fade.
Various aftermarket kits are available to replace brake hardware like pins, springs, and clips, ensuring proper brake function and longevity.
Ceramic brake pads are a popular upgrade for improved stopping power and reduced brake dust.
Regular maintenance, such as replacing brake pads and rotors when worn, is essential for optimal braking performance and safety.
The Scion xA is generally considered a reliable vehicle, and its braking system is no exception when properly maintained.
