When it comes to your brakes, you don’t want to take any chances with your safety. That is why you should make sure to maintain your Chevrolet SSR brake rotors. You will find these one-piece metal discs attached to your axles at each of your wheels.

Your SSR brake rotors work directly with your brake pads to generate the friction your vehicle uses to stop. Each time you engage your brakes, the frictional lining of your brake pads comes into contact with your rotors.

Of course, this means that your Chevrolet SSR brake rotors are under a considerable amount of pressure. The rate of wear for your SSR brake rotors is going to depend largely on the type of brake pads you have installed on your vehicle. There are two general types of brake pads used with disc braking systems: metallic and non-metallic. Most vehicles make use of non-metallic brake pads, also referred to as soft or organic, because they are designed to wear down at a faster rate than your rotors. If you have metallic brake pads installed, the pads themselves will last longer and provide greater braking power and control, but you should plan to change your Chevrolet SSR brake rotors more often. With soft brake pads, maintaining the condition of your SSR brake rotors is a matter of changing your brake pads when necessary. If you do end up having to change your brake rotors, keep in mind that you should install new brake pads as well.You’ll find a full line of SSR brake rotors and brake pads in our extensive online catalogue, in stock and ready to ship to your door.
