What are the main benefits of upgrading the braking system?

Most enthusiasts first look to increase horsepower when
modifying the vehicle, and faster cars often need more stopping power, making
the braking system one of the best areas of your vehicle to modify.

Why upgrade the brake discs?

Upgrading the brake discs can offer several advantages
including a reduction in heat build-up and improved aesthetics. We offer both
slotted and drilled brake discs for improved braking performance. Drilled brake
discs have holes in the face of the disc, which helps with cooling and provides
increased bite. Slotted (e.g. Pedders
SportsRyder Slotted & Dimpled Rotor) brake discs have less tendency to
crack but still offer cooling benefits, making them a very popular choice.

What are the benefits of upgrading the brake pads?

Upgrading the pads is a popular modification as it can
increase the braking performance for a relatively low cost. The brake pads are
the most commonly changed part in the braking system as these experience the
most wear. High-performance brake pads (e.g. Pedders
SportsRyder) are made from higher quality friction materials meaning they
can withstand more brake pressure. They also offer more reliable braking
performance when the pads and discs get hot.

Do full brake kits offer the most benefits?

Compared to smaller upgrades, getting a brake kit will
provide the biggest increase in stopping power. Our Ford
GT350R Brake Kit is the ultimate upgrade for stock 5.0L GT or 2.3L Ecoboost
models.

What considerations do I need to make when upgrading my
brakes?

You also need to make sure that you have enough room inside
your wheels to fit the bigger parts. Some factory wheels will provide with you
enough space, but you may need to switch to aftermarket wheels if the gap is
too tight. The Nemesis UK sales team is happy to offer technical support if you
need some help.
