Brake discs on Priora: selection, installation, reviews. LADA Priora

The brake discs on a Priora car, like any other, are an important part of the front suspension, which is the first to begin braking. There are two options for wheels on Priora - regular factory ones and ventilated ones.

The design of the Lada Priora brake system is such that “drums” are installed at the rear, and calipers at the front. This has been going on since 2101. However, it is possible to modify the rear brakes - that is, install brake discs with calipers and backwards, instead of drums. Spare parts for the brake system on Priora must be purchased and installed by the owner on time - the safety of travel depends on their “freshness”. The ventilated front disc has an advantage over a regular one; it is lighter and has plenty of holes, which means it cools down faster! The Priora, of course, brakes well in stock, but until you have driven a Ford or Kia, disc brakes are better there. The price of ventilated brake discs for a Lada Priora car starts from 4,000 thousand rubles and above, standard ones are cheaper than 1,100. In three years, my factory production has reached 2 millimeters.

Remember that the price of these spare parts is incomparable to the damage that you may incur if the braking time increases due to wear and tear of the components. Replacement must be done on time. On the Priora, front brake discs are installed in all trim levels, but the rear ones are a subject of tuning for daring car owners.

Signs

What symptoms can be used to determine that the brake discs on a Priora need to be replaced? The main sign of wear and tear is the behavior of the car. If the working surface of the brake disc is deformed or worn, it will “cling” when you press the pedal. Also, when the pads are activated, a strong grinding noise is possible (not to be confused with the squeaking of the friction material itself). If there is a crack, braking is accompanied by beating against the steering wheel. The friction lining touches the slightest shoulders and other irregularities on the working surface of the disk.

As a result, its material crumbles and you feel increased vibration. It can be transmitted not only to the steering wheel, but throughout the body. Depends on the severity of wear or amount of deformation. In this case, it is recommended to carry out a visual inspection of the element. If there are no visible cracks, remove the wheel and run your finger along the working surface of the disc. If you feel unevenness, this means that the element has overheated and, due to expansion and contraction, has become deformed. It is worth noting that the steering wheel can only wobble when you press the pedal. If this symptom occurs while driving, your wheels may be unbalanced or one of the weights has fallen off. Often these vibrations increase as speed increases.

THE BETTER DISC BRAKES VS. DRUM MODIFICATIONS

The effectiveness of disc brakes versus drum brakes has been proven many times when installed on sports car models. They are installed on “foreign cars” not only because of effective braking. They are able to ensure simultaneous activation of the brake mechanisms on all wheels, and this allows improving the vehicle's handling in any road conditions.

The advantages of rear disc brakes include the following:

1. Reducing the braking distance of the car several times;
2. Reducing the time for brake mechanisms to operate;
3. The time required to replace brake pads is reduced. the ease of their replacement is noted;
4. Increases the safety of driving a vehicle;
5. Uniformity is observed when the brake mechanisms of all wheels are activated;
6. Reduced unsprung masses of the rear axle;
7. Good removal of excess heat under extreme driving conditions;
8. There is no need to periodically tighten the handbrake cable;
9. The problems of pads freezing to discs in the cold season disappear.

Disc or drum brakes?
The list shows an impressive list of advantages, but there are also specific disadvantages to installing them. When manufacturing the car, the Volzhsky plant does not install the ZDT on the Priora; it’s hard to say why this is, probably to reduce production costs. By installing rear disc brakes on the Priora, technical changes are made to the design of the vehicle. This may cause problems during technical inspection.

Any design receives a comprehensive assessment during test trips at the test site. The vehicle is equipped with well-balanced and properly adjusted brake systems.

If suddenly a car gets into an accident, even if the accident was completely innocent, the owner will have problems due to unauthorized changes in the design features of the car.

Installing rear disc brakes on a Priora with your own hands is quite possible. But after its installation is completed, careful fine-tuning and configuration of the system is necessary. Doing it yourself is difficult, but possible.

It is best to contact a specialized auto center, where they will not only install it, but also issue a certificate of conformity for the new system. In some cases it does not help owners.

About the groove

Is it wise to repair your brakes? "Priora" is a relatively inexpensive car, but the cost of turning old discs is up to 75 percent of the cost of new elements. In addition, this restoration method is ineffective for serious deformations in the form of cracks and large wear (the thickness of the working surface is less than 6 millimeters). Reviews from motorists say that a smart decision would be to buy a new set of wheels. When old ones clear up, there is a high probability of repeated symptoms. After a couple of thousand kilometers, such a car begins to vibrate again, and the brakes become less informative. Moreover, it makes no difference whether the groove was performed on the removed element or directly on the hub. If you want to be sure of your safety, install new brake discs on your Priora. Which ones are better to choose - we will consider further.

Non-ventilated

These are the simplest brake discs that are installed on the basic configurations of Lada Priora cars. It is believed that this type has an outdated design and is practically not used on modern machines. Foreign manufacturers installed non-ventilated discs back in the 90s of the last century. Starting from the “zeros”, even the budget class was equipped with ventilated elements.

The disk itself is a round blank with a thickness of 10 to 20 millimeters. It is often made by casting - it is one continuous element. More expensive analogues have a collapsible design. They can change the working surface. But their price is several times higher than the cost of brake discs on a Priora of the usual cast type. The range ranges from one and a half to seven thousand rubles. The “budget” niche is occupied by non-ventilated disks due to their simple design.

Manufacturers

There are several popular manufacturers of brake discs on the market for various car models:

• TRW is a well-known manufacturer of brake discs for various brands and models of cars. They are considered a fairly good manufacturer, with decent declared characteristics. In terms of price/quality ratio, it is one of the best on the market. According to their characteristics and dimensions, they are well suited to domestic cars and budget foreign cars (Lada Kalina, Priora, Granta, Hyundai Accent). The average cost of a set is about 4,000 rubles. The manufacturer’s line includes both conventional and products with perforation and ventilation;

• Bosch – the most famous German manufacturer of automotive components. Its products are deservedly considered one of the best on the market, due to the use of a strict quality control system. These are perfect for models - Chevrolet Lacetti, Mitsubishi Lancer and other C class models. In terms of their characteristics, they are in no way inferior to famous and sporty models. The range includes all types of brake discs. The average cost is about 7,000 rubles. The main problem when choosing and purchasing such discs is the large number of counterfeit products on the market. On the official website of the manufacturer you can see information about original products and completely protect yourself;

• Brembo – this manufacturer stands out from the general range of competitors. The products are considered premium products and are installed on expensive sports car models. According to its characteristics, it will give a head start to any competitor. They are distinguished by excellent adhesion properties, high resistance to overheating when working in extreme conditions and excellent endurance. The cost of the kit directly depends on the model. The starting price is about 35,000 rubles. According to the results of numerous ratings, they invariably occupy leading positions;

• Otto Zimmermann – a well-known German manufacturer of high-quality brake discs. Known for its products for several decades. The main distinguishing feature of the products is consistently high quality and excellent wear resistance during long-term use.

The product line is diverse and includes various modifications for car models. The cost of the kit depends on the modification and model of the machine. The average price is about 8,000 rubles.

Perforated

These elements have a more complex structure. The design combines two thin metal disks 5 millimeters thick. Between them there are so-called channels through which air flows. Thanks to such ventilation, the operating temperature of the disk is reduced by one and a half to two times. And as we know, when braking, a friction force arises, which is converted into thermal energy. Disks require high-quality heat dissipation.

If it is not there, the metal will overheat. As a result, we get literally crooked disks, and possibly cracked ones. The braking distance is also reduced. Compared to non-ventilated analogues, it is 15 percent lower. In addition, the service life of the brake pads increases, since the friction material no longer operates under critical temperature loads.

The calipers can be left as old, the boots were originally designed for R14 brakes, the movable caliper remains the same.

Some facts

Initially, perforation appeared on sports cars. The working part of the brake disc was drilled using special equipment. The result was through holes and grooves through which air circulated from the center outward. A few years later, perforation began to be used on ordinary civilian cars. But, despite such popularity, the price of such discs has not decreased at all, since the production technology has remained the same. In addition, high precision work is required. At the slightest discrepancy with the standard, such a disc is rejected and does not go on sale.

About braking efficiency

When the pads come into contact with the disc, gases are formed (boundary layer), which prevent good adhesion of the friction material to the working surface. Thanks to the presence of grooves, they are easily removed. In the case of non-ventilated discs, these gases continue to slide across the metal, preventing the pads from working properly. As a result, the braking distance increases. As we have already said, preformation allows you to reduce its length by 15 percent. 100% adhesion is ensured between the metal of the disc and the working surface of the pad. In some cases, in addition to holes, grooves are used. They have a depth of about two millimeters and are directed towards the rotation of the disk. The grooves clean the working surface well of accumulated dirt, sand and other deposits that have formed there when the car was driven. In the absence of perforation, this dust settles deeply on the surface of the disc. This causes a squeaking sound when braking. The driver cannot understand the cause of the malfunction, especially if the pads have recently been replaced.

What to choose in the end?

What kind of front brake discs should I put on the Priora? Reviews from motorists agree on one thing - it all depends on the driving style. If you prefer an aggressive style, with sharp acceleration and braking, the presence of perforations and grooves is simply necessary for you. But if the car is used for leisurely driving, there is reason to think about installing non-ventilated discs. A compromise option is to purchase ventilated discs without perforation, but with grooves.

This is the average price range - from 3 to 5 thousand rubles per unit. This way you will be confident that the system is working properly and ensure maximum driving safety by reducing the braking distance by several meters. Plus, if these are alloy wheels, these grooves will give your car more sportiness.

What rear brake discs can be installed on the Lada Priora?

Initially, in the stock version of the car with r14 wheels, there is a brake drum on the rear axle. But there are many dedicated rear wheel disc brake kits on the market. You can purchase them at any time. The installation process is quite complicated, but even an ordinary driver can do it. You need to stock up on special tools.

Original

Despite the lack of a standard, stock model with rear disc brakes, purchasing the originals will not be difficult. Since parts from other cars produced at the AvtoVAZ plant are suitable. it is possible to use the following:

Substitutes

There is a wide range of analogues on the market. Purchasing a suitable model is not difficult. It is only important to familiarize yourself with all the nuances of the choice in advance. Since the stock version of the car does not have such brakes. Particular attention should be paid to the dimensional parameters. If they do not match, it will simply be impossible to install them in place.

Original and fake

Now there are a huge number of fakes on the market, which are sold under the famous brands Zimmerman, ATE, Bosch and Brembo. It is quite easy to distinguish an original from a copy. First of all, this is the thickness of the disk. If it is less than one centimeter, most likely you have a copy in your hands. Reviews from motorists recommend paying attention to the junction of the two parts of the disk. The internal grooves should connect smoothly to the work surface.

If there is a strict 90 degree angle, such discs will simply crack. Well, the last factor is the price. It is two to three times lower than the original. Compare the cost of the same model at different retail outlets. If it is significantly different, and the disc has different weights, one of the stores is selling a fake.

What's next?

First, put the car on the handbrake and put the anti-roll bars back. Next, use a wheel wrench to remove the wheel bolts and jack up the front part. Remove the wheels and unscrew the brake fluid reservoir. Using a vacuum syringe, pump out some of it into a previously prepared container until the level in the tank drops to half. This way we will prevent it from getting on the pads when dismantling them. Next we need a thick minus screwdriver. We install it between the outer brake pad and the caliper and pull back the piston. It is important not to damage it - for this reason, work extremely carefully. Then we take the “13” key in our hands (you can take a horn or ratchet) and unscrew the lower mounting bolt. If there is a locking bracket, turn it with a screwdriver or bend it with a chisel and hammer. Using the “17” key, we tighten the rotary pin.

We lift the bracket, take out the pads, remove the two bolts going to the caliper and use the “7” key to unscrew the disc itself. Then you can install new brake discs on the Priora. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Changing brake discs on Lada Priora

Brake discs always wear out; on the Lada Priora their diameter reaches the minimum permissible size, which is about 17.8 mm. Beyond this limit, the brake disc becomes ineffective and it is time to change it. How to do it?

Replacing brake discs on a Priora begins with replacing the calipers. The first step is to remove the front wheels and get a 17-inch overhead wrench. Next, using the specified key, unscrew both screws responsible for connecting the steering knuckle and guide pads.

This will allow you to disconnect the pad guide, bracket, and the pads themselves from the disc. The work should be performed carefully so that the brake hose is not stretched. To avoid this, it is advisable to tie the caliper to the suspension spring.

By the way, if you want to immediately change the brake fluid, you can buy it where lubricants for cars are sold.

Further actions are as follows: unscrew the bolts securing the guide pads, remove the guide from the disk and re-tie the caliper to the suspension spring.

When unscrewing the working cylinder from the tip of the brake system hose, you must carefully monitor the hole in the hose - it must be closed, otherwise brake fluid may leak out. The brake hose must not be kinked under any circumstances.

After installing the equipment, be sure to monitor the level of brake fluid in the reservoir, and also remove any remaining air from the brake system.

The usual method of replacing Priora brake discs involves dismantling the caliper; for this you will need a 7 key. Then we proceed in this way: using a previously prepared key, we unscrew the guide pins and manually remove the brake disc. And in case of difficulties, we knock it down with a hammer or sledgehammer.

After this, we unscrew both guide pins. Subsequent steps should be performed in strictly reverse order. In this case, all mating surfaces of the hub and disk must be cleaned of dirt, rust and scale.

The smallest particle of unwanted impurities can lead to vibration and beating of the brake disc during braking of the car.

If you want your car's brake system to work like a clock, completely replace the set of brake pads.

Adviсe

When replacing a disc, new pads should be installed. This is a required step. Some manufacturers include a pair of new pads when purchasing a disc. Also maintain symmetry. Let's say your disk is cracked and you buy one standard “replacement” one. If you install a new one on only one side, there will be uneven distribution of braking forces and asymmetrical wear. The same goes for the pads. They only change in pairs. Also, when replacing, pay attention to the condition of other parts - caliper boots, guides. If there are any gaps or signs of deformation/wear, replace them. After the brake discs have been successfully installed on the Priora, add fluid to the reservoir and bleed the system. The presence of bubbles in it is unacceptable - braking on such a car becomes ineffective. The liquid simply boils from the compression of air.

What front brake discs can be installed on the Lada Priora?

It should be noted that the front brake discs constantly heat up and are subject to greater loads than the rear ones. That is why their replacement is necessary more often than the rear ones. But it is important to familiarize yourself with all the dimensions in advance. Before you make a purchase, you need to decide on your budget. Original disks are usually slightly more expensive than analogues.

At the same time, it is important to remember that the latter are sometimes in no way inferior in quality to the originals. Some famous brands have the status of official suppliers. Therefore, the quality of the products they supply is satisfactory. The price fluctuates depending on various factors. It is necessary to take into account all the nuances. If the car has ABS, discs are required, which require connecting the corresponding sensors.

The price also varies depending on the brand. Such as TRW and Ferodo will cost slightly more than noname products. The cost of ventilated and conventional ones varies. The latter are suitable for drivers practicing an aggressive driving style. They cool down much faster. Moreover, the pedal will be more responsive. But the cost of such disks is much higher.

Original

Many drivers choose original parts. Moreover, there is a certain logic in this. Since such components are 100% likely to fit. It is only important to study all offers in advance. Counterfeits of original components and parts are often found on sale. There is a hologram on AvtoVAZ boxes; the box itself is made of high-quality cardboard.

Substitutes

Purchasing analogues does not cause problems. It is only necessary not to confuse the article. The minimum cost of such components will be 800 rubles. Having installed such items, it is important for the owner to constantly monitor their condition. This will avoid many difficulties. It is better to replace the disks in advance.

About the resource

The replacement period for this element directly depends on your driving style. The more often you accelerate and brake, the lower the resource of the node. Factory brake discs installed on Priora can withstand up to two hundred thousand kilometers. But with aggressive driving, this period can be less than one hundred thousand. If possible, brake in gear and switch to neutral in advance before a red traffic light. Use more “rolling” - this will not only preserve the discs and pads (the latter are changed every 25 thousand kilometers), but will also increase the service life of the gearbox. Fuel savings are also significant.

So, we found out how to choose the right brake pads and install them on a Lada Priora car with our own hands.

I drove 25 thousand km on these pads. Not a single squeak the entire time, unlike the much-praised Ferodo. Although they slow down about the same. They generate little dust.

Good brake pads rosdot standard. They brake well, don’t wear out for a long time, and most importantly, don’t creak. Before this, there were Ferodo pads , but they squeaked so unbearably that I had to change them.

I drove 35 thousand km with Lynx brake pads, there were no problems. So for its price as an alternative to the originals - 5 points.

Shit. do not take. I installed new Alnaz brake discs with notches and these pads eat the disc, grind when braking at low speeds, creak

I'm already installing my second set of Ate Power wheels. The previous one cost 25 thousand. Braking is predictable and quite soft. Very rarely, when braking from low speeds, they squeak faintly. I don't consider dust to be a disadvantage. It's better to have high-quality brakes with dirty discs than to hammer into someone with clean ones.

I bought these pads because Ferodo was not on sale. The seller offered this replacement. The price is almost 900 rubles (870, I don’t remember exactly). Externally, they are carefully made with high quality, the pads themselves are in sealed plastic packaging. I installed them on old discs, the wear on which was exactly 1 mm, I did not grind them. There was a creak at first that hurt my ear.

I thought they’d get used to it, but I’ve already ridden it for a little over 3,000 km, and the squeak has become simply terrible, and it’s never gone away. It was impossible to stop at a traffic light without squeaking, it just became really annoying, sometimes I even tried to slow down with the handbrake in order to stop without making a sound. In short, these pads suck.

Now I bought new Lada 2112 discs and pads from Ferodo green Target. We'll see what happens when I change it. But externally, the Ferodo pads I purchased look like a fake, and these are paint drips, they blacken the finger very much, there is no halogram or sticker on the box, it’s just a box (and an open one) with four pads lying around in it.

But I think that they will be better than Nippons, since before them there were Ferodos.

Which pads are better??

Great pads! They brake great! There are a lot of bad reviews from competitors on this topic. I recommended it to a friend, he has a Mazda 6. Hankook doesn’t make pads for the Mazda 6!

Installed 10 thousand ago along with new Lada image disks. I also cleaned and lubricated the brackets with ceramic paste. The first 100 km creaked, then there was silence. They brake predictably and do not float when overheated. True, when you are jostling in a traffic jam, there is a squeak, but not intrusively. The discs don't tear. One of the disadvantages is that they generate black dust.

I bet on Priora. And from the first day to this day I have been haunted by creaking and grinding sounds. Discs are at risk. The mileage is 3000 km, and already more than half is worn out. Once warmed up they don't slow down at all. The only plus is the price, and that’s probably because it’s made of sand.
