When a car is standing still and if it is one of those high performance desirable cars such as a Mitsubishi Eclipse you get a sense that it is like a caged beast and the moment the ignition is turned on it will roar to life and announce to the world the power and prowess it possesses. Which is fair enough, the car manufacturers are great at styling cars and part of the ability of a great car designer is to make a car look like a powerful high speed machine even when it is standing still.

But now consider the same car moving along the highway at top speed overtaking other cars with ease and dominating the road in general. Does this car look like it can come to a halt in a very brief period of time or does it look like it can go even faster? Well a car seldom needs to look like it can stop quickly but it has to be able to do that. Otherwise the high speed instead of being an asset turns into a liability. It doesn't look like it can stop quickly simply because the braking system is hardly visible. But if it was visible, you would have more insight into how it can stop so quickly.

At the heart of the braking system ...
... is the combined effort of brake rotors and brake pads. When you brake the brake pads are pressed hard against the brake rotors to generate friction and create a retarding force. The brake pads simply have to be durable surfaces that do not get worn easily and produce a lot of friction. The brake rotors need to have that quality and be able to dissipate the large amount of heat that is generated when the two surfaces are pressed together as well. If the heat is not dissipated the components heat up and the brake performance suffers. And with each passing year brake rotors get better at performing their task. Quality Eclipse brake rotors will help produce a lot of friction and also dissipate the heat quickly and give you a reliable brake performance.
