Which brake discs are best for the Lada Granta: TOP 6 best brake discs

Brake discs are one of the main parts of a vehicle, responsible for safety while driving, as well as for a comfortable ride. When the driver presses the brake pedal, they rub against the pads, causing the car to stop. Consequently, this element constantly experiences increased loads. In order for the part to serve for a long time, and also ensure the safety of using the vehicle, you need to choose high-quality products from trusted manufacturers. We will tell you which brake discs are best for the Lada Granta and list the TOP of the best brake discs. From among them, you can choose the best option for your car, which will completely suit you in terms of its characteristics.

Comparative characteristics

To understand which model from the rating to select for your vehicle, you need to carefully study the comparative characteristics of the models.

Reasons for replacing spare parts

One of the main reasons for replacing brake discs is natural wear and tear. In addition, it is recommended to install new parts instead of old elements in the following cases:

• premature failure of discs, which can be determined by deterioration in the quality of braking of the car;
• damage to product surfaces;
• deformation of spare parts.

Attention! In any of these cases, it is recommended to replace the brake discs to avoid a dangerous situation while the vehicle is moving.

Which manufacturer has better brake discs?

You can also select wheels based on your vehicle. The main thing is to correctly indicate the make, model and modification. The selection is carried out on the official Internet portal of the manufacturer or any specialized automotive website.

The most common manufacturers that are universally appreciated by car owners around the world:

• TRW – low cost and stable operation. The disadvantage of the product is its short motor life.

• AND THOSE. The brake discs of this manufacturer are distinguished by their durability and very good braking even in the case of strong heating of the surface of the part. Along with such excellent qualities, their price is still high.

• Bosch. Good pricing policy in relation to quality, the only drawback is that they don’t like overheating.

• Brembo. Defective samples are rare. They have good wear resistance. Not everyone can afford to buy such brakes.

• Ferodo. These wheels are the dream of any car enthusiast. They have improved performance characteristics and a pretty good price, even for a budget buyer. Because of their popularity, they are often counterfeited.

The selection of automobile brake discs should be taken very carefully, because it is not only the safety of the driver and passengers inside the car, but also of other road users.

The brake disc (another name is the rotor) is a part that is attached to the wheel hub and is clamped by the pads during braking. Brake discs wear out and become thinner; Over time (how soon depends on the use) they should be replaced. We figure out how to choose a suitable brake disc or adapt the brakes to a new type of rotor. Pay attention to two parameters:

Features of original LADA Granta brake pads

The supply of pads to the AvtoVAZ conveyor is carried out by JSC TIIR, Russia’s leading manufacturer of friction products for cars and trucks.

The peculiarity of the markings of brake pads from “TIIR” is that the pads themselves have an internal factory number, and are supplied to the market with “VAZ” numbers. For example, components intended for the retail market under the Lada Sport brand are marked 21100-3501800-83, while the serial number 2108-3501080-05 is stamped on the pads themselves.

It is important to note that since 2012, TIIR JSC began producing front brake pads 1118-3501090 from the TIIR-295 composite material for Grant, Priora and Kalina cars. These pads, as mentioned above, do not have anti-squeak plates; a special mastic is applied to the back of the pads, designed to level out noise and vibration during braking.

Many car enthusiasts note that such “cheapening” of products does not bring the desired result; moreover, with frequent intense braking, the surface of the lining “glazes over”. This leads to an excessive increase in the coefficient of friction in the disc/pad pair and, accordingly, to accelerated wear of the brake disc.

But in 2013, the company improved the technology and began producing front brake pads 2192-3501090-10 from the TIIR-299 composite material with multilayer Nulok anti-squeak plates, for Lada Granta 2192/2194 and their modifications.

Rules for choosing brake discs

To select suitable spare parts of this type, when purchasing products, it is recommended to focus on the following points:

1. Material. It is recommended to give preference to brake discs made of high-carbon cast iron. The fact is that this particular material is resistant to high and low temperatures, as well as temperature changes. In addition, it is characterized by increased strength and is therefore less susceptible to deformation and cracking. Therefore, high carbon cast iron discs will last for a long time.
2. Presence of anti-corrosion coating. It increases the service life of spare parts.
3. Manufacturer. Professionals recommend giving preference to trusted brands, since they guarantee the high quality of their products.
4. Price. In this case, you need to focus on your budget size. Even among inexpensive discs, you can choose high-quality spare parts.

So which brake discs are best for the Lada Granta? It all depends not only on the characteristics of the spare parts, but also on the size of the budget. So, if you need inexpensive front discs, then pay attention to the Bosch model 0986479346. If you decide to purchase front discs made of high-carbon cast iron and cost is not the main selection criterion for you, we can recommend you the ATE PowerDisc product. If you need discs for the rear axle, we advise you to take a closer look at the BM BDV 292 option. Our TOP and tips will help you choose suitable brake discs for the Lada Granta.

How to check disks on Grant

According to the regulations, the brake discs on the Grant must be checked every 15 thousand kilometers. Over time, the unit wears out a lot and therefore needs to be checked. You should pay attention to the thickness, presence of cracks, etc. All work must be done with the car suspended. An overpass, inspection hole or lift will help.

Inspection

Check the brake booster first. To do this, press the pedal five times all the way and start the engine. The pedal must be pressed to the floor. If the vacuum valve is working properly, the pedal will move slightly towards the driver. If not, it's worth checking.

Then inspect all the tubes. They must be firmly fixed and not have any visual defects - cracks, rust. There should also be no brake fluid leaks. Inspect all hoses in the same way. They should not be frayed or cracked.

Inspection of the Lada Granta brake disc

Proceed to inspect the brake disc. The metal must be smooth without cracks, scratches or grooves. For a detailed inspection, it is best to remove the wheel, rather than examine the disc through the slots in the spokes, as bad services do. Pay attention to the brake pad. If the brake cylinder is soured, then the wear of such a pad will be uneven.

Thickness measurement

Measuring the minimum thickness with a caliper only makes sense if you have nothing better. The jaws of this measuring device are too wide, so it will not be possible to determine the minimum wear. A micrometer is suitable for this. It is necessary to measure in the thinnest places, several times throughout the entire disk.

If you do not have any measuring tool, and uneven wear is clearly visible on the disk with the naked eye, change it. There is no point in measuring here. The degree of wear can be assessed by looking at the side. The larger it is, the greater the wear.

Acceptable wear parameters

If you are using factory brake discs or high-quality others, the acceptable wear parameters will be indicated on the part itself. You can find the inscription on the rim; it will be in MIN format. T.H. 5, where 5 is the maximum wear figure at which replacement is required.

For minimum thickness, the acceptable wear parameter is 1-1.5 mm. If such wear exceeds 2-3 mm, the part requires immediate replacement. On Grant, the minimum thickness is 17.8 mm.
