So you know that the brake pads are responsible for serving as a buffer between the calipers and the rotors that spin with the rest of the wheel. But do you know what they are made out of and where on the wheel that they are placed?
As you know, when the brake pedal is pressed, the caliper squeezes on the rotors that are spinning with the rest of the vehicle. On each caliper are the brake pads that serve as a cushion so that divots aren't worn into the rotors. Brake pads can be made of either metal or ceramic, and they both have their benefits and drawbacks.
