Your cars brakes are one of the most important aspects of safety with your vehicle. If your brakes need to be replaced or serviced, and you ignore this, you are putting your life as well as others at great risk. Allowing a brake problem to go untreated can also end up costing you a lot more money in the long run. Here are a few things to look for, and what you should do about them.
Grinding Noises
If you have noticed a grinding noise when you come to a stop, you have probably waited too long for a service. Grinding sounds are typically caused by brake linings that are worn down, causing them to grind against the rotor. If the rotors are damaged this is very costly. If you hear grinding you need to pull your vehicle over immediately and have it towed to your shop. Do not trust that they will get you there.
Squealing Sounds
If you hear squealing, this may be a sign that its time for a brake job, but it also may not be. Squealing can signify a lot of issues. Something as simple as a missing anti-rattle clip can cause a squeal, or something as serious as rotors that need to be machined. A squeal can be frustrating, but it should be checked to err on the side of caution.
Spongy Feeling
Spongy brakes can be a sign of air bubbles building up in the brake line. You can rectify this on your own by bleeding the brake lines. If you are not comfortable with this repair, any mechanic can do this for you, and it is not typically an expensive job.
Flooring the Brakes
If you find you are having to press the brake completely to the floor before you get the vehicle to stop, this should be checked. Start by checking the brake fluid. Low brake fluid can cause this, and is often the problem. If you find you are having to top off the brake fluid every few days, you should have it inspected for leaks.
Pulsating Pedal
This is fairly common on cars with front disc brakes. If the pedal pulsates when you try to stop, or the steering wheel shakes slightly, it could be an indication of worn rotors. If your brakes overheat easily it can create a rough surface on the rotor. This can be fixed by having the rotors machined, and this should be done sooner rather than later.
Routine Services
Even if your car is running perfectly, you should have certain things checked regularly. Brakes should be checked every 6 months, unless your owners manual suggests a different time frame. Many mechanics will suggest checking them once a year, and this fine, but a lot can happen in 6 months and having them inspected more frequently can alert you to minor problems before they become major.

High-performance Pontiac Brake Rotor: Efficient Distributor of Brake Friction and Pressure
Who would not want a great performing car? With the recent hype in car upgrades, more and more car owners are now upgrading their cars to make it go faster, handle better and look better. When it comes to performance upgrades, the braking system is often ignored. This should not be the case, because this group of car components has an indispensable role of keeping you safe and protected on the road by providing you with safe and repeatable stopping. No matter what vehicle type you have, the concept behind the braking system is universal. The braking system installed in your Pontiac vehicle uses friction in order to slow down or stop your car. It does this through leverage or mechanical advantage and through hydraulic force multiplication. However, the entire system would not be able to perform its collective function if one or more of its sub components are not in good working condition. For this reason, you need to be aware of the various parts and their proper maintenance to ensure a longer service life.
One of the fundamental components of your braking system is the Pontiac brake rotor. This car component looks like a round metal disc and can be seen clamped by a caliper that holds 2 friction linings or brake pads. They are usually made up of basic gray crummy cast iron. To eliminate those porosities that lead to cracking, most brake rotors are vacuum degassed. A typical Pontiac brake rotor has an average roughness of 30 to 60 micro inches. Moreover, the depth of the finish must be .002 to .008 inch to ensure a smooth and high performing brake rotor. There are different types of brake rotors: the scraper slots, drilled rotors and vented rotors. Scraper slots reduce the stopping distance because they dissipate heat. Aside from that, they shed water under wet driving conditions and they effectively throw the debris and dust away from the wheels. Drilled rotors undergo blind degassing to dissipate heat and ensure maximum braking performance in any condition. Vented rotors absorb thermal energy through the vent path. That way, the heat resulting from the braking system is channeled through the moving air stream.
It is a general maintenance procedure to replace or turn the brake rotors each time the brake pads are replaced. This would allow your brake rotors to have an equal distribution of pressure and friction. Some of the basic maintenance procedures that you can employ to prolong the service life of your Pontiac brake rotor include heat cycling them very gently, keeping them cool, and working on your braking technique. By coming on your brakes progressively, smoothly and slowly, you can be sure that your Pontiac brake rotor would be spared from getting damaged earlier. You may be hearing some squealing noises when you step on the brakes. This is particularly normal, because the rotor and the brake pads are made up of metal. However, you may want to check your Pontiac brake rotor for wear and tear if you have been hearing brake noises other than a squeal. So when you have been noticing those wear and tear signs, you better replace your worn out Pontiac brake rotor to prevent brake related accidents.

disc brake resin pads and rotors?
Hi everyone,
I am planning to change my front disc brake rotor and i already know what size I want to buy, 8" rotor (203mm). So when I was looking at my current rotor it had an encryption that said resin pads only. which brings me to my question; do I have to buy a specific type of rotor made for resin pads or I can buy any aftermarket brands.
what I currently use
Shimano XT 160mm rotor 6-bolt
Shimano XT mechanical calipers (with resin pads)
You don't need a specific disc but check that the depth (verticaly) of the braking surface is the same (or slightly deeper). Remembering that you will need a new caliper mounting bracket, once you've got your new disc on you can use either types of pad. Resin wear down quicker but bed in quicker whereas sintered take longer to bed in but last longer.
