FAQ

1.what is the best way to improve brake performance?

The best way to improve brake performance is to purchase high quality brake components. Additionally, a thorough brake job that restores a vehicle’s brake system to its original operating condition can also improve a vehicle’s braking performance.

 

 

 

2.How often should my brake system be inspected?

A vehicle’s braking system should be checked as stated by the vehicle’s factory maintenance schedule

 

 

 

3.Are slotted or drilled rotors better than non-slotted or non-drilled rotors?

In high performance vehicles, slotted or drilled rotors are an advantage due to additional high braking temperatures. “Zhenguan”Premium Discs are drilled and slotted in applications where the OE design specifies this requirement.

 

 

4.What causes rotor warping/runout?

Rotor warping/runout can be due to improper rotor installation during the tightening (torquing) of the lug nuts.

 

 

 

5.What are the benefit of coated rotors?

Premium coated rotors are designed to prolong corrosion and maintain higher thermo stability, allowing for extended brake system longevity.

 

 

6.Do coated rotors effect my braking performance?

No, the brake pad brushes off the coating on the rotor’s braking surface within the first 50 stops.

 

 

 

7.Why should machined brake rotors be washed when installing new pads?

 Machined rotors should be washed with a mild dishwashing detergent and hand brush prior to installing new brake pads. This process removes machining debris left on the surface of the rotor from the machining process. Failure to properly wash the machined rotors can result in damage to the friction material on the new pad and additional vibration and noise.
