Vehicle braking systems work especially hard in the winter months and parts supplier Blue Print is urging garages to carry out regular checks of the braking system on vehicles and to ensure timely replacement of worn parts with high quality components.

Brake pads are of course on the front line of the system taking the brunt of the frictional force necessary to stop a vehicle. Blue Print supplies over 800 different brake pads in range, covering in excess of 20,000 references for a variety of make and models including special expertise on Toyota, Hyundai and Mazda. Blue Print says the key to optimum pad performance is the quality of the components being fitted. All Blue Print brake pads are made of high quality materials to ensure safe braking. Also to avoid excessive noise or vibration, Blue Print pads are supplied complete with shims and fittings as per the original part. This also saves time and adds to fitting convenience.

With regard to Brake discs, precision casting and finish on Blue Print discs ensure consistent quality and stable braking performance, which in turn means a longer service life on braking components. Blue Print says its impressive range of brake discs, including high-carbon discs, have high resistance to wear to ensure long service life. Blue Print supplies over 1,000 different discs in range, with over 22,000 applications. Blue Print’s extensive coverage is particularly strong with Asian, American and British vehicles and ensures the right braking solution for the aftermarket. 

Blue Print also supplies over 800 brake calipers in range covering over 15,000 applications. The company says all calipers are researched and tested to ensure precise fit and OE matching quality.

All Blue Print braking parts are covered by the company’s 3 year warranty.

Blue Print technical experts point out that the influence of other components on braking parts can sometimes hide the root cause of a problem. For this reason they recommend to always check the full braking system and surrounding components during repairs to avoid missing the real issue.
