Sooner or later your car will need new brake pads. If you put a lot of mileage on your car you will have to eventually replace your disc rotors also.

The question then is where do you go to have this done, and should you purchase exact replacement parts from the manufacturer or find an aftermarket brand?

When a car manufacturer designs and builds a car, there are a variety of conflicting considerations that go into what the final vehicle is. There is always a tradeoff of building something that is reliable, stylish, and cost effective for the company. There is little to be gained for the typical manufacturer by telling the buying audience that the brakes on the car were made by Mr. Goodwrench (not really a manufacturing company) if it does not get them more business. So as a rule, you have no idea of where the brakes were sourced out to by your car company.

The original brakes on your car were also designed to be all things to all people. So they were designed not to be too hard or too soft. Not to wear out too fast or on the other hand last forever. Stop you safely, but perhaps not as fast as possible with different pads. Resist some brake fade, but go by the assumption that the car would not be pushed too hard (unless it was a sports car). So all in all, one compromise after another was made on the specifications.

Now it's time to replace some of those components. If you were happy the way they worked before, and are not too particular, then going to a dealer and having them install whatever brake parts are needed is a safe and reasonable thing to do.

However, if you want more than the standard brake package, then you might want to consider an aftermarket source for your brake parts. You get to choose from a wide variety of brands. And each one of these brands is in competition with every other brand. What this means is that they must build a good product or the word gets around that it is not a company to purchase products from. The aftermarket rotor could be thicker, made out of better material, have special ventilation (ribs, slots or drilled holes) which would resist brake fade much better than the stock rotors. The pads you choose can be designed for long wear, or resistance to heat, or low noise, or a different feel when braking. Perhaps you want to say, "I have Brembo brakes on my car, which is what Ferrari chooses for their cars."

You get to choose what you want, rather than accept what the original car manufacturer decided was best for the average driver.

I don't know about you, but after I learned something about brakes I have never gone back to the OEM brake brands. It takes a little longer, but I can choose the best for my needs by searching around the aftermarket brake product offerings.

Chevrolet Camaro Invades Adelaide Motor Show

The 2007 Adelaide Motor Show will be invaded by a significant number of fabulous cars. But one sports coupe is expected to be a stunner. And that is the new Chevrolet Camaro. The Adelaide Motor Show is scheduled to start on March 28 and will end on April 1.

General Motors Corp. earlier confirmed the production and sale in North America in the first quarter of 2009. Significant elements of the Chevy body parts including the design and engineering is in the works at Fishermans Bend, Melbourne and this facility is the automaker’s centre of rear wheel drive proficiency.

Tony Stolfo, the GM global design executive, said that the Chevrolet Camaro was a prime example of GM’s ability to successfully work across continents on global projects. He added, “Camaro’s Adelaide showing was also a great opportunity to gauge the Australian motoring public’s appetite for the iconic sports legend.”

“Chevrolet Camaro’s engineering and design work is happening right here, right now, at Fishermans Bend,” Stolfo said. “We are very excited about helping style the look and developing the thrilling drive performance that are hallmarks of this iconic nameplate.” He added, “We also want to see whether Australian buyers would want a Chevrolet Camaro in local dealerships. This motor show is an excellent opportunity to put that appetite to the test.”

The production of the new Camaro will start later next year and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. A production convertible will be unveiled in 2009.

“The new Camaro will be almost identical to the concept, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the 1969 model, considered by many to be the best design of the car’s first generation,” said Ed Welburn, GM’s global vice president of design. The new Camaro features independent rear suspension, Active Fuel Management™, which shuts off four cylinders to save fuel when the engine is lightly loaded, prominent front grille, high-performance brakes, unique five-spoke cast alloy wheels, vented disc brakes with 14-inch rotors, and prominent fender to boost performance. The sports coupe comes with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions, as well as V6 and V8 engines.

Ed Peper, the Chevrolet General Manager, said: “We intend to make the all-new Camaro relevant to younger buyers while retaining its appeal to current fans. The beauty of the best Camaros is that they have always been beautiful to look at with performance that rivals expensive European GTs. Yet they were practical enough to drive every day and priced within the reach of many new-car buyers.”

2004 Chevrolet Classic shaking while braking at speeds 40 mph +?

What would cause my 2004 Chevrolet Classic (I believe it is a car made for rental car companies (etc.) and is very similar, if not identical, to the 2003 Chevrolet Malibu) with 64,000 miles (mostly highway) to shake like crazy while braking at highway speeds. I had this problem with my 02 Cavalier and balancing/rotating the tires corrected the shake. So, I had the tires balanced/rotated on this one. I purchased the car in 2004 with 28,000 miles on it and have not changed the brake pads or rotors, if that helps. I've seen that as a possible answer, but wondered what else it could be or if anyone has had the same problem with the same vehicle. Is this something that needs taken care of right away? Money is tight right now and if I can get by (SAFELY) with putting it off, I'd like to. Any suggestions or answers would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!

First, have your Brakes Checked.

Then, have a *Trusted* Mechanic Test-Drive your Car, to Check Front-End Alignment. You may need an alignment done.

I would just go ahead & replace the Rotors on the Front of your Classic. If that doesn't work, then get a Front-End Alignment done!!
