- RJRyan JoskerNov 20, 20221.0Went to get led lights today. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let them get me a pair they said were right. After the guy seemed scared to sell me led lights lol. Went home, and realized they were there wrong ones. Went back to get the right ones and the skinny weird guy from there first time started questioning why I wanted led lights. With an attitude and almost to the point of not wanting to sell them. Telling me they're illegal. What a joke of employees. You sell them, so sell them to me. Don't worry about what I'm using them for

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
