FAQs:

Q: What is the difference between brake pads and brake shoes?
A: Brake pads are used in disc brake systems, pressing against the brake rotor to create friction. Brake shoes are used in drum brake systems and press against the drum’s inner surface to stop the vehicle.

Q: How do I know if I need to replace my brake pads or shoes?
A: Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, reduced braking performance, a vibrating brake pedal, or visual wear below the recommended thickness.

Q: Are these brake pads and shoes compatible with all C10 models?
A: Yes, our brake pads and shoes are available for various C10 model years. Check the product specifications for compatibility.

Q: What materials are used in these brake pads and shoes?
A: We offer options in ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic materials to suit different performance and driving needs.

Q: Which is better: ceramic or semi-metallic brake pads?
A: Ceramic pads offer quieter operation and lower dust production, ideal for everyday use. Semi-metallic pads provide better heat dissipation and are suited for heavy-duty or performance applications.

Q: Can I replace brake pads or shoes myself?
A: Yes, replacing brake pads or shoes is possible with basic mechanical skills and tools. However, professional installation is recommended for safety.

Q: How often should I replace my brake pads and shoes?
A: Brake pads typically last 30,000 to 70,000 miles, while brake shoes can last slightly longer. This depends on driving habits and conditions.

Q: Are these brake pads and shoes low-dust and quiet?
A: Yes, our brake pads and shoes are designed to minimize brake dust and noise for a cleaner, quieter driving experience.

Q: Can worn brake pads or shoes damage other components?
A: Yes, if not replaced in time, worn pads can damage the rotors, and worn shoes can damage the brake drums, leading to more expensive repairs.

Q: Do these pads and shoes come with a warranty?
A: Yes, our brake pads and shoes include a manufacturer’s warranty. Refer to the product details for specific terms.

Q: Are there performance-grade options available?
A: Yes, we offer high-performance brake pads and shoes for towing, heavy loads, and spirited driving.

Q: What is included in the brake pad or shoe kit?
A: Most kits include the brake pads or shoes and any necessary hardware for installation. Check the product description for details.

Q: Do these brake pads and shoes require a break-in period?
A: Yes, most brake pads and shoes require a short break-in period for optimal performance. Refer to the included instructions for specific guidance.

Q: How do I choose the right material for my brake pads or shoes?
A:

• Ceramic: Best for everyday driving, quieter, and less dusty.
• Semi-Metallic: Ideal for heavy-duty or performance applications, handles heat well.
• Organic: Cost-effective and eco-friendly but wears faster.

Q: Can these be used for towing or off-road driving?
A: Yes, our semi-metallic and high-performance pads and shoes are well-suited for towing and off-road applications.

Q: Should I replace rotors or drums when changing pads or shoes?
A: It’s recommended to inspect and, if necessary, resurface or replace rotors and drums to ensure smooth braking and even wear.
