Among the most important parts of the braking system of your 2002 – 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse are the brake pads. These pads are present in almost all vehicles. Without the braking system, it would be impossible for your Mitsubishi Eclipse to stop, especially during emergency situations. Accidents will surely happen if your auto will not be able to slow down or stop abruptly. The EBC Brake Pads are designed to be installed in the brake calipers of the braking system. Each brake disc has an attached brake caliper. When the brake pedal of your vehicle is pushed, the hydraulic fluid will be relayed to the brake caliper. The brake caliper will then push the brake pads, thereby clamping the brake disc, and your vehicle will then grind to a halt. There is a direct correlation between the use of your auto and the wearing out of the pads. The more you drive your vehicle, the faster is the thinning of the pads. You will be able to determine whether your brake pads are already thin when metal sounds are produced during braking. This is because there is a metal sheet attached to the brake pads that will signal if the parts are already thin. For maximum efficiency, use the EBC E35DP31614C Brake Pads as replacements, and you can get them from us at a reasonable price. We will ship them for free if your purchase totals more than 50 dollars.
