Brakes are one of the most important components of a car, and it is important that all parts there are of the highest quality and reliability. It is known that spare parts from the car manufacturer itself are often very expensive. Moreover, some concerns are not personally involved in the release of parts, but transfer this task to other companies. Many companies do this, including the Korean giant Hyundai.

Brake pads for Hyundai Solaris are produced by dozens of different companies, and we have selected for you 10 best manufacturers, whose products have passed all the necessary tests. The tests took into account such indicators as:

• Abrasion of pads during braking;
• High temperature performance;
• Degradability at high temperatures;
• Overall service life;
• Environmental friendliness of the materials from which the pads are made.

All tests are carried out by manufacturers, but this is not enough, and in our rating we took into account not only this data, but also the results of tests of independent experts, whose expert opinion is beyond doubt. It also takes into account the reviews of real buyers who have used brake pads and are able to draw conclusions after their tests.

TOP 10 best brake pads for Hyundai Solaris

10 Kraft

Chinese manufacturers do not stand still and do not miss the opportunity to join global brands such as Hyundai. But the concern that produces the legendary Hyundai Solaris is in no hurry to distribute production licenses to everyone. And so far, this company does not have an official document from the Korean brand.

However, this is not surprising, since the test results for this product are average. The braking distance is relatively long, and the heating of the drum during emergency braking heats up to 560 degrees. The indicator is not critical, but higher than the established norm, since at this temperature, destruction begins at the pads. If, under normal conditions, the erasure is about 0.32 millimeters, then when heated, the indicator increases to 0.45, which is already a lot, and therefore, replacement of such brake pads will be required rather quickly. True, this is offset by the cost of the product. It is quite democratic, although in our rating there are pads that are cheaper, and even with higher indicators of quality and durability.

9 ABS Hyundai

Do not lag behind Korean manufacturers and Chinese brands. Before us are brake pads that have caused controversy in the ranks of both ordinary users and professional testers. The indicators were average. For example, a high level of heating of the brake disc. The pads heat it up a lot, but on the other hand, the degree of their destructibility does not increase, and this is already a plus.

There is also a rather long grinding time and the increased effort required to press the brake pedal during this period. But here, too, there is a downside - after lapping, the braking distance does not increase. It remains within normal limits throughout the work. To put it simply, the product is ambiguous, and the testers did not come to a consensus about it. The price is also not the lowest, which makes these pads less attractive. Yes, replacement will be required very soon, but on the market, and even in our rating, there are many more interesting options, and at a much more attractive cost.

8 Sangsin SP1239

This Korean brand has partnerships with many car manufacturers around the world. He also produces brake pads for Hyundai Solaris, and despite this, he cannot be called the best of its kind. In tests, they showed an average result. In particular, it turned out that the pads heat up the disc quite strongly, bringing the temperature to a critical 600 degrees.True, destruction at this level does not increase, and this is an undoubted plus, but any, even the most accurate braking leads to strong heating, which in turn is a minus.

The reason for this quality, and it is at an average level in comparison with other brands, is in the use of environmentally friendly materials. The manufacturer has abandoned components hazardous to health and is now developing the most clean pads for Hyundai Solaris and other cars. While the quality leaves much to be desired, but buying these pads, you take exactly the licensed product. That is, what is installed on the machines at the factory.

7 TDB 0640

Hyundai licenses many component manufacturers, including those from Russia. Before us is one of these brands operating under the strict control of the Korean concern. The quality of the pads is highly appreciated by testers, noting a decent level of wear resistance. After extreme braking, the layer decreases by only 0.36 millimeters, which is an acceptable indicator, albeit not the best.

The disadvantages include long grinding and significant pressure during the entire grinding period. Indicators are not critical, but not the highest. But the pads do not like the limiting temperatures and begin to quickly collapse when heated above 500 degrees. By the way, the disc reaches this temperature precisely due to the fault of the pads. Simply put, with aggressive use, replacement will be required pretty quickly. And with careful driving, the pads will last a long time and retain their quality characteristics throughout the entire service life.

6 HANKOOK FRIXA

The official Korean manufacturer produces not only the best systems in terms of reliability, but also the most environmentally friendly ones. This line of pads focuses specifically on safety. Mercury, cadmium and asbestos are not used here, although these are the main components in the manufacture of the material. The manufacturer has replaced materials hazardous to health with environmentally friendly, while trying to maintain the best technical characteristics. And as the experts note, they succeeded quite well.

Yes, the performance of these pads is slightly lower than the same, but from a different line. For example, a long rub-in is required here. You will have to press the pedal with threefold force about 10-15 times. After rubbing in, the braking distance remains stable and fluctuates throughout the operating period within 2-3 meters. The indicator is very high. A low degree of disc heating is also noted, but the pads are rapidly destructible at elevated temperatures. Apparently, environmentally friendly materials have not yet completely replaced harmful cadmium and asbestos, but let's hope that the brand still has everything ahead and it will be able to release really better pads, but without the use of hazardous materials.

5 UBS Hyundai Solaris

Among the manufacturers of brake pads for Hyundai Solaris, there are also Russian brands that compete with both Western and Eastern companies. The main emphasis in production is on durability, and as experts say, they are quite successful in this. The pads really last a long time. As the representatives of the brand write, the secret lies in a special multi-layer technology. It is difficult to say what this means, but one can doubt that the technology is exclusive. Be that as it may, the pads have a lot of advantages. For example, the price. These are the most inexpensive braking units in our ranking, albeit not with the best technical characteristics.

In particular, there is a high degree of destruction at high heating. The multilayer material, which manufacturers focus on, does not tolerate high temperatures well, although it heats the disc itself to the maximum 600 degrees. By the standards of foreign brands, this is a lot, but if in this mode the pads are able to work, as in the standard mode, there are no problems. Here we see an increase in stopping distance by as much as 7 meters.

4 Fenox BP 43151

The Belarusian company Fenox is known among motorists, as it offers quality spare parts at the most affordable prices. Yes, the cost is the main advantage here, although the technical parameters are at an applicable level. For example, pad wear under aggressive braking is only 0.31 millimeters, which is very small and even more expensive brands often exceed this figure.

The heating of the disc reaches 530 degrees, which is a lot, but the pads themselves feel great at this temperature and do not collapse. As for the shortcomings, here experts note a long grinding. After replacing the pads, you will have to press on the pedal with three times the force, and lapping lasts from 10 to 30 brakes, which is quite a lot, and most importantly, it is inconvenient. After lapping, the indicator reaches the norm, and the braking distance remains stable. Simply put, these brake pads for Hyundai Solaris cannot be called the best, but they are worth their money, of course, and the nearest replacement, given the low level of destruction, will not be needed very soon.

3 HANKOOK FRIXA S1

We have before us the most expensive brake pads in the ranking. This is the official supplier for Hyundai factories. He produces many different parts, and they are more expensive than the original ones. This factor can scare off many potential buyers, but before drawing conclusions, you need to get acquainted with the test results, and they are impressive here. Firstly, the pads have practically no lapping period. From the moment of installation, you do not have to press hard on the pedal, and a couple of brakes already bring them into operation. Secondly, maximum resistance to high temperatures. The material holds its shape perfectly during friction, and itself does not heat up the brake disc very much. The heating indicator is kept at 450 degrees, which is not so little, but less than that of competitors.

In addition, experts note the short braking distance and its stability throughout the entire service life. And the main advantage is durability. It is this factor that completely negates the cost of the pads. You will need to replace them very soon. Even with aggressive use.

2 Valeo 301021

The French company Valeo produces components for Hyundai Solaris under the license of the manufacturer itself. That is, when buying products of this brand, you can be sure of their quality, since all tests are carried out under the supervision of Hyundai, and it makes no sense for him to certify a company that produces bad parts.

The performance of these brake pads is one of the best. And experts first of all note their high level of wear resistance. Even after stress tests with emergency braking, the pads retain their shape perfectly and do not lose their qualities. The only drawback noted by many users is that when braking hard, they heat up the brake disc excessively. At the same time, they themselves remain safe and sound. That is, the destruction inherent in many branded products does not occur. A stable braking distance is also noted. Stable in the sense that at different degrees of erasure, the car stops at almost the same distance. The difference between new and old pads is only 3 meters and this is the best indicator in our rating.

1 Finwhale V1017

This is a German company that produces spare and consumable parts for cars of almost all brands, including Hyundai Solaris. According to experts, these are one of the best pads on the market, with a lot of advantages. In particular, fast running-in and lapping are noted. That is, you do not have to drive at extremely low speed for a week to allow the brakes to work to the desired size. Everything happens very quickly. And this is the most important factor, apart from the long service life.

True, there are drawbacks, or rather, one - these brake pads do not tolerate high temperatures poorly. When the disc brake heats up to about 500 degrees, the destruction of the pad material begins. This is not fatal, but with frequent, sharp braking, the pads will last much less.It is worth noting that this drawback is quite common, but some manufacturers solve the problem much better than this brand.
