Brake caliper - brake system three errors inventory

The brake system is one of the more important parts of a car. The braking system of modern cars is mainly divided into disc brakes and drum brakes. There are a lot of inaccurate views on the pros and cons of these two types of brakes, and some businesses will steal some concepts and mislead consumers.

Misunderstanding 1: "Disc brake is better than drum brake"

This is a misunderstanding of a large part of people. When choosing a car, some people saw that the rear wheel was still frowning with a drum brake. However, we can see from the above description of the working principle that the drum brake with the same diameter is bigger than the brake force of the disc brake. As long as it is properly tuned, the brake distance of a drum brake will definitely not be longer than that of a disc brake. In addition, the matching degree of the tire and the brake system, the weight of the vehicle body, the weight distribution of the vehicle body, etc. all affect the braking distance. The braking effect cannot be drawn directly with the brake system specification. We have verified this in several braking tests. For example, in the comparison tests of Fit, Po-lo, and Mazda2, the best brake performance was Mazda 2 in the front and rear drums, followed by 1.5 in front and rear disc brakes.
