►Punch in your vehicle information to search for brake service parts, and you’ll likely be met with a host of brake pad options. There are several kinds of brake pads, and each parts manufacturer does them a little bit differently, so it pays to know what you really need. While slightly less involved, choosing a brake rotor can be similar, and not knowing what you need for your particular deriving conditions can cost you unnecessary money. To get you right the first time around, FCP Euro’s VAG Group Director, Nathan Brown, is here to take you through a grouping of all that can be ordered from FCP Euro for your European vehicle.

i stopped watching after 2 minutes because he speaks so fast.
I have a 2021 Jeep Compass Limited. I do a lot of city driving 1) for work and back home and 2) I do pet sitting on the side so it’s a lot of braking. I do have a lead foot and I like to get where I’m going quick. Over the last snow/ice storm we had here in Lexington, KY, I had to hit my brakes hard. Now they are warped causing severe vibration – through to the steering wheel. I need good brakes that are not going to warp the first time I have to slam on brakes for something. I need something durable. (Brake pads and rotors). Suggestions?
Great tutorial. I’m one of the guys who held hot brakes engaged while waiting on a light on an incline. If this surging, with associated steering wheel shake, can I go through the bedding procedure again and reduce or eliminate that? Is there an alternative fix other than replacing rotors and pads? The vehicle in question is a C6, ZO6, LS7 with OEM rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads. Please let me and others know! Thank you!
What about cryo-treating the rotors?
What about SKF ? Thanks
