BREMBO brake pads P 30 051 are designed for the Hyundai i30. The vehicle's braking system is crucial for the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users. Brake system failures rank second among vehicle-related accidents, following tire failures.

Brake pads and discs should be replaced regularly based on driving style. Aggressive driving and frequent emergency braking lead to faster wear of brake components. Accelerated wear can also result from inadequate maintenance, mechanical damage, or low-quality components. Maintenance includes lubricating brake caliper guides with high-temperature grease during each pad replacement, replacing worn parts (brake pads, brake discs, caliper shims), and changing brake fluid.

Common causes of mechanical damage include warping of discs and pads due to rapid cooling (e.g., driving through puddles or washing), and the ingress of sand or stones causing uneven wear. Using lower-quality parts may also lead to rapid wear.

Brake discs can be categorized into ventilated and solid, smooth, perforated, or slotted types. They are made from various materials, with cast iron being the cheapest, offering excellent friction properties but poor resistance to sudden temperature changes. Stainless steel discs provide similar thermal resistance but are less friction-resistant. Carbon discs are lightweight and have a high friction coefficient, while ceramic discs offer stability at high temperatures and long lifespan but are expensive.

Brake pads can be semi-metallic, organic, low-metal, or ceramic, each with distinct characteristics affecting performance and wear. Additionally, brake pads may come with electronic or mechanical wear sensors and are designed for disc or drum brakes.
