They are supposed to run cooler & decrease stopping distance.
One can purchase brake discs from a variety of stores. Stores such as AutoAnything, eBay, GSF Car Parts, Auto Parts Warehouse, and Walmart sell brake discs.
Depends on what kind of "discs" you're referring to... (compact discs? brake discs?)
Yes, brake discs and rotors are the same component in a vehicle's braking system. They are both flat, circular metal discs that are clamped by the brake calipers to slow down or stop the vehicle.
To extend the life of brake pads
Yes. It does not make a difference whether is is the conventional, slotted or drilled rotors. They can all be machined in a brake lathe with the same accurate result.
there are brake shoes in the discs too . just remove the discs and you will see them. they are applied by a cable.
NO! No...no...no...! Do not put any grease on your brake discs, copper grease is used to put on the 'back' of the brake pads (not the part of the pad that comes into contact with the disc).
Typically integral parking brakes are on rear disc braking systems. By activating the parking brake it adjusts the discs on the rear brakes. While the front discs are self adjusting, on the integral systems the rear discs are not self adjusting, thus the need for the integral parking brake system.
The caliper might be sticking
Only if they are defective.
No, brake discs and rotors are not the same thing. Brake discs are the flat, circular metal component that the brake pads clamp onto to slow down the vehicle. Rotors, on the other hand, are the spinning part of the wheel assembly that the brake disc is attached to.
there are factory rivets which have to be drilled out
