Default Brake Maintenance

-Brake smoothly and early. Try to coast before red lights so that you are still rolling by the time the light turns green.
- Try to occasionally do a hard stop from highway speeds, without locking your tires or coming to a complete stop, to evenly wear the pad into the rotors and burn off deposits.
-use a pressure washer to clean off excess brake dust from inside the wheel
- be sure to change brake fluid often. use 2 man pumping method on all four corners
-be sure to service the calipers, especially the rears, by lubricating the sliding pins during each brake service
