Car Brake Parts at Easy Life Markets

Easy Life Markets sells car brake parts for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles and ATVs: complete rotor and pad kits, brake pads, brake discs, calipers, ABS wheel speed sensors, brake hose clips, rotor screws and master cylinders. Most parts are listed by vehicle, year range, position and size, so you can match them to what is on your vehicle now.

If you are not sure what to buy, start with what you hear and feel. A high squeal often means the pads are close to their wear limit. Grinding means the pads may be worn through to the backing plate, and the rotors will need replacing too. Vibration through the pedal or wheel when braking usually points to rotors with uneven thickness. A soft pedal points to air or a leak in the hydraulic system. A lit ABS light points to a wheel speed sensor or its wiring.

What Is in This Category

A disc brake system is simple at heart. You press the pedal, the master cylinder pushes fluid down the lines, the caliper squeezes the pads against the rotor, and friction slows the wheel. ABS sensors watch each wheel and stop it locking. Each group below covers one part of that chain.

Brake kits

Our brake kits pair rotors with matching pads, often for both axles. They suit trucks and SUVs where the brakes work hard. Examples include the 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 brake kit, the 2006-2018 Ram 1500 brake kit and the 2016-2021 LX570 and Land Cruiser brake kit.

Brake pads

Brake pads are the main wear item. They are made from a friction material bonded to a steel backing plate. Our range includes ceramic pads and low-metallic pads, listed by vehicle and pad reference, such as the D1222 low-metallic pads for Toyota Camry.

Rotors and discs

Rotors are the discs the pads clamp onto. They come plain, drilled, slotted or drilled and slotted. They wear more slowly than pads but must stay above their minimum thickness, which is stamped on most rotors. We also stock small parts such as BMW rotor set screws.

Calipers

Calipers hold the pads and push them onto the rotor. A sticking caliper causes pulling, a hot wheel and fast pad wear on one side. We carry car caliper pairs, a big brake caliper kit for Volkswagen and motorcycle calipers.

ABS components

ABS wheel speed sensors read the speed of each wheel. When one fails, the ABS and often the traction control are switched off and a warning light comes on. Our sensors are listed by position and part number for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Acura, Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen models.

Lines, clips and hydraulic parts

The brake lines section holds parts such as Beetle brake hose clips. We also carry motorcycle master cylinders and an Italika ATV rear brake kit with master cylinder, caliper and line.

Pad Types: Ceramic, Low-Metallic and Semi-Metallic

The friction material changes how the brakes feel, how much dust they make and how long they last. There is no single best pad. The right one depends on how you drive.

  • Ceramic pads are quiet, produce light-coloured dust and wear evenly. They suit most daily drivers and many SUVs. Most of our truck and SUV kits use ceramic pads.
  • Low-metallic pads contain a small amount of metal fibre. They give strong bite and handle heat well, but can be a little noisier and dustier.
  • Semi-metallic pads contain more metal and are common on heavy vehicles and for towing. They cope with high heat but wear rotors faster.

Whatever pad you choose, fit the same type on both wheels of an axle.

Rotor Types: Plain, Drilled and Slotted

Plain rotors have a smooth face. They are quiet, strong and the standard choice on most cars. Slotted rotors have grooves that help clear gas and debris from between pad and rotor, and they keep the pad surface fresh. Drilled rotors have holes that help with cooling and water. Drilled and slotted rotors combine both. Many of our truck kits use drilled and slotted rotors, such as the 2012-2020 F-150 brake kit. Some kits, like the 2010-2017 Equinox brake kit, use hollow rotors instead.

Vented rotors have two faces separated by cooling vanes. Most front rotors on modern cars are vented. If you want to understand the design in more detail, the disc brake article is a clear explainer.

How to Choose the Right Car Brake Parts

Brake fitment is stricter than most people expect. The same model can use two or three brake sizes depending on engine, trim, towing package or parking brake type. Use these checks before you order car brake parts.

Match the year, model and trim

Our listings give the year range and models. Some add restrictions. The F-150 kit, for example, is listed for vehicles with a manual parking brake only. Read the full title and description.

Measure or confirm the rotor diameter

Where the listing gives a rotor size, compare it with your current rotor. The Ram 1500 kit lists 13.2 in front and 13.9 in rear rotors. The Traverse front brake kit lists 12.8 in front rotors. The Silverado 2500 HD front brake kit uses 14 in rotors.

Confirm the position

Front or rear, left or right. ABS sensors and calipers are often side-specific. The Civic front left ABS sensor fits only one corner, while the BMW E46 rear ABS sensor fits rear left or right.

Compare part numbers

Pad references, caliper numbers and sensor numbers are the surest match. The Accord rear caliper pair lists 19B3358 and 19B3359, and the Pathfinder ceramic pad set lists D1649 and D1288.

Replace across the axle

Pads and rotors should always be replaced on both wheels of an axle. Uneven braking from side to side makes the vehicle pull.

Complete Kits or Separate Parts

A rotor and pad kit is the easiest way to buy car brake parts for a full service. The pads and rotors are matched to each other and to the vehicle, and you order once. Kits that cover both axles, such as the Silverado, Ram, Wrangler and LX570 kits, suit owners who want to refresh the whole system in one weekend.

Separate parts make sense when only one item is worn. If your rotors still measure well above minimum thickness and run true, a pad set is enough. If one caliper is sticking but the pads and rotors are fine, replace the caliper pair on that axle and keep the rest. Buying separately also lets you mix pad types, for example ceramic for a quiet daily drive.

Brake Fluid and the Hydraulic System

Brake fluid is the link between your foot and the pads. It is designed not to compress, so pedal force reaches the calipers directly. Over time it absorbs moisture from the air, which lowers its boiling point. Under hard braking, wet fluid can boil and form vapour, and the pedal goes soft.

Use only the fluid type named on your reservoir cap or in your owner's manual. Do not mix types unless the vehicle maker allows it. When you open the system to change a caliper or line, bleed each wheel in the order your service manual gives, usually starting with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Keep the reservoir topped up during bleeding so no air enters the system.

Check rubber hoses for cracks and bulges, and metal lines for heavy rust. Hose clips keep lines in place and away from moving parts, so replace any that are missing or broken.

Big Brake Upgrades

A big brake kit fits larger rotors and multi-piston calipers. The larger rotor gives the caliper more leverage, and more pistons spread the clamping force over a bigger pad. The result is more stopping power and better heat control on track days or with heavy loads. Our Volkswagen big brake caliper kit offers 4-piston or 6-piston calipers for discs from 300 to 405 mm.

Before you buy any big brake kit, check that your wheels have room for the caliper. Larger rotors usually need larger wheels. Also check the brake balance, since a much stronger front axle changes how the car behaves under braking.

When to Replace Brake Parts

Brakes give plenty of warning if you pay attention. Have them checked if you notice any of these.

  • A high-pitched squeal when braking. Many pads have a metal tab that squeals when the pad is nearly worn.
  • Grinding or scraping. The pad may be worn through, and the rotor is being damaged.
  • Vibration in the pedal or steering wheel under braking.
  • A soft or spongy pedal, or a pedal that travels further than before.
  • The vehicle pulling to one side when you brake.
  • A brake, ABS or traction control warning light.
  • A burning smell or one wheel much hotter than the others after a drive.
  • Brake fluid that looks dark, or a fluid level that keeps dropping.

Motorcycle and ATV Brake Parts

We also carry brake parts for two- and four-wheel powersports. The NS200 rear brake caliper and the Italika rear caliper for 170Z, 200Z and 250Z are single replacement calipers. The motorcycle brake master cylinder and clutch lever set fits 22 mm handlebars. On motorcycles, the same rules apply as on cars: match the part, use fresh fluid of the correct type, and bleed the system fully.

Fitting Brake Parts Safely

Brakes are the most important safety system on any vehicle. If you have not done a brake job before, have a qualified mechanic do it. If you are doing it yourself, follow these points.

  • Support the vehicle on stands, never on a jack alone.
  • Clean the hub face before fitting a new rotor. Rust or dirt behind the rotor causes runout and vibration.
  • Clean new rotors with brake cleaner to remove any protective coating.
  • Lubricate caliper slide pins and pad contact points with brake grease. Keep grease off the pad and rotor faces.
  • Torque caliper bolts and wheel nuts to the vehicle maker's figures.
  • Bleed the system if it has been opened, and use the fluid type named on the reservoir cap.
  • Bed in new pads as the pad supplier recommends. This lays an even film of pad material on the rotor.
  • Pump the pedal before moving the car, then test the brakes at low speed before driving normally.

Looking After Your Brakes

Brakes last longer with a few simple habits. Look ahead and brake smoothly rather than late and hard. On long downhill roads, use a lower gear so the brakes do not overheat. Have the pads measured at each service. Change the brake fluid at the interval in your owner's manual, because fluid absorbs moisture over time and its boiling point drops. Wash road salt and mud off the wheels and brakes during wet seasons to slow corrosion on calipers and hose clips.

Who This Category Suits

Our car brake parts suit drivers doing a routine pad and rotor change, truck and SUV owners who want front and rear kits in one order, owners chasing an ABS warning light, enthusiasts fitting a big brake kit, and riders who need motorcycle or ATV calipers and master cylinders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to replace rotors every time I replace pads?

Not always. If the rotors are smooth, free of vibration and above their minimum thickness, new pads alone can be fitted. Many owners replace both together to get an even surface and a clean start.

Are drilled and slotted rotors better?

They help with heat, water and pad gas, which suits heavy vehicles and towing. For normal daily driving, plain rotors also work well.

How do I know which brake size my vehicle has?

Measure the rotor diameter, or check the part number on the old rotor or pad. Your VIN can also be used to look up the factory brake size.

Why is my ABS light on?

The most common causes are a failed wheel speed sensor, damaged sensor wiring or dirt on the sensor ring. A scan tool can tell you which wheel is reporting the fault.

Should I replace calipers in pairs?

It is good practice, so both sides clamp evenly. Our caliper listings show whether you get one caliper or a pair.

What does bedding in new pads mean?

It is a series of moderate stops that heats the pads and rotors evenly and lays pad material onto the rotor. It gives smoother, stronger braking.
