Your Ford Five Hundred brake rotors are one piece metal discs mounted at each of your wheels, where they serve as an essential part of your vehicle’s braking system. Also known as disc brakes, Five Hundred brake rotors spin along with your wheels as you drive, and when you step on your brakes, the brake pads on either side of the rotors clamp down to provide uniform stopping at all of your wheels. Of course, your brakes are critical to your vehicle, so you should make sure to take good care of your brake rotors.

The condition of your Ford Five Hundred brake rotors will often depend upon your brake pads. For example, your vehicle may have metallic brake pads installed.

Metallic brake pads last longer than non-metallic ones and provide better stopping power. However, they are rough on your Five Hundred brake rotors and cause excessive wear. If your vehicle uses metallic brake pads, you will have to replace your rotors more often. The life of your Ford Five Hundred brake rotors can be extended if your vehicle uses non-metallic, or soft, brake pads, which are designed to erode at a faster rate than your rotors. Soft brake pads provide plenty of braking power, as long as they are not worn too much. Keeping your Five Hundred brake rotors in good shape is easy when you make sure to change your soft brake pads when necessary. If your brake pads are less than a quarter of an inch thick, you should change them soon, because if they fall to less than an eighth of an inch your rotors will become damaged.We carry a full line of brake rotors and brake pads in our online catalogue.
