The engine-room of a brake system, where the force applied at the pedal is converted into hydraulic pressure so that it can be sent to each wheel cylinder.
The thickness at which a disc rotor must be discarded. Through wear and machining a disc rotor becomes thinner over time; as a result it becomes less able to dissipate heat and more prone to warping ...
Friction material which uses no asbestos, thereby being easier on public health (breathing asbestos dust can cause the disease asbestoses). Sometimes non-asbestos linings can be more abrasive, ...

A term which refers to the relationship between the two friction surfaces on a disc brake rotor. It is critical that the surfaces are parallel, particularly with ABS, as the slightest shudder can ...
Brakes which use power-assistance (usually from engine vacuum) to magnify the pedal force, thereby reducing driver effort and increasing braking power.
