Brake discs are an important part of the braking system. If the braking system is to always slow down the vehicle safely and comfortably - bringing it to a complete stop if necessary - the brake discs must combine with the brake pads to generate braking torque (braking force).

Although nearly all passenger cars today are capable of stopping maximum speed in a single pass at or near the limits of tire adhesion, most passenger cars, light trucks and some sports cars have braking systems that are inadequate for hard or sporty driving or towing.

Braking is one of the most difficult areas that drivers encounter. There are multiple factors at play. The electric motor, transmission, traction and the vehicle's suspension all affect weight transfer.
