| Brakes and
clutches are two of the most critical components of virtually all vehicles currently
in common usage today, from everyday cars, motorcycles, race rally cars,
formula 1, karting and all forms of motorsport. Brakes and clutches form an
integral part of the vehicles currently in common use worldwide.
LK
Performance carries a vast array of top quality brakes and clutch kits from all
the most respected names in brake and clutch engineering. Virtually all top
bands are stocked or readily available including top brands suppliers and OE
manufacturers such as Brembo, Tarrox, Cosworth, AP Racing, Panther Brakes and
clutches, Black Diamond, Mintex and Pagid. The range of brakes carried at LK
Performance is vast.
Brakes
consist of various components, Brake Disc, Brake Pads, Brake Callipers, Brake
Shoes and Brake Hoses. As brake and clutches get more sophisticated, better
materials and technology are used in the manufacture of brakes and clutches.
Manufactures
of brakes like EBC brakes, Mintex brakes, Pagid braking, Brembo brakes and such
have therefore brought out ranges catering to specialist areas i.e. Redstuff brake
pads, Greenstuff brake pads, yellowstuff brake pads, Bluestuff Brake Pads,
Karting Pads and Motorcycle Brakes along with dimpled and grooved brakes,
drilled and grooved brake discs and various other permutations which can be
further enhanced by phosphate coating or zinc coating. Even brake fluids are
more complicated with silicone versions and racing versions available.
Because of
the high technology involved in brakes and clutches, ceramic versions have been
produced for competition clutch and competition brakes. Panther Performance
have realised that the above technology with brakes and clutches have
revolutionised the industry.
Whereas
vintage and veteran vehicles tended to use brake shoes as vehicles became more
technologically advanced, better braking system were developed with larger
brake callipers and brake pads introduced into the market. Because of the vast
range of brakes and clutches on the market, even the standard road brakes and
clutches have many variants and all manner of product has been introduced to
reflect this.
Upgraded
brakes and clutches are now a common feature on modern vehicles and passably
because of the wide range of alloy wheels available which tend to reveal the
brake callipers all manners of callipers paints and various high heat braking
products have been developed.
Brake and
clutch technology has advanced at probably a greater speed than others aspects
of the general motor car Parts Given that brakes and clutches are vital safety
aspects of modern indeed all vehicles.
Various
manufacturers now offer considerable variety of brake discs i.e. 8,12,16
grooved plus drilled, dimpled or cross drilled which are specifically developed
for high performance fast road use giving optimum performance at high braking
temperatures.
These
modern variants of brakes give repaid heat dispersions with enhanced brake fade
characteristics.
These
brakes are also available in a variety of coating to give good resistance to
corrosion.
Because
heat dissipation is so important many suppliers now supply air duct vents and
high quality brake clutch hoses to enhance the braking system. Panther
Performance have further enhanced the market for up rated brakes and clutches
by introducing an impressive range of up rated brakes, clutches, lightened
flywheels and dual mass flywheels and clutches to suit the ever increasing need
of an ever increasing aspect of quality and safety.
