    The company that let me film in their factory is giving all of my fans 20% off their brakes using the code "20off" at checkout. I do not make any money from this! They are doing this to get you guys to try out their new technology brake pads and I will always share a discount to help my subscribers. Here is the link: www.carid.com/nrs-brakes/
    This video was one of my most favorite that I have ever made! It took about a months worth of work and I hope you enjoy! It took a lot of time and work to make and NRS brakes literally closed down part of their manufacturing line so I could film this. It’s absolutely incredible how much help they were! I hope you guys like it and I hope other brands reach out so we can do more of these how-it’s-made episodes!
    Also I will be in Ireland for a meet-up on Saturday July 13 so check out my Instagram or UA-cam stories for more info if you are from Ireland!

      I cant speak for every issue or every car, but generally speaking Chris makes it a LOT easier than other people do, so long as your car is similar enough to his video (my ford for example didnt exactly match the suspension rebuikd video but most of it was super helpful, I just had to find a other video about my specific model to learn I needed to drop the frame to get 2 bolts :P)

I tested materials to ASTM certification. So if you want ideas, well visit a gearbox maker, or engine builder, or car seat manufacturers. We love your videos. You are an amazing young man. THANK YOU.

      If you’ve driven several vehicles, you’ve probably noticed that some vehicle windshields are equipped with a tinted strip on the windshield. The strip can either be blue that fades out as it gets lower, or it may be a pixelated strip that fades the lower it goes. These tint strips are usually around four to six inches in height and stretch the whole length of the windshield. The purpose of tint strips The tint strip on the windshield is actually known as a shade band. Its purpose is simple: to provide protection from the sun’s glare in that pesky spot just below your roof line and just above the visor. That spot is notorious for being difficult to block when you are driving into the sun shortly before sundown. The reason the shade band is only four to six inches in height is so it doesn’t obstruct or obscure your vision when you are driving in normal traffic. If the shade band stretched any further down, it could cause a distraction to some drivers or make it hard to see traffic lights at an upward angle. If your windshield doesn't have a shade band, it's important to get one. It's not mandatory on all vehicles nor is it required if your windshield was originally equipped with one, but it can prevent annoying glare from hard to block spots.

    I have been up since 3:30am watching videos on how to change out brake pads. I'm 65 now and so many changes on auto repair I wanted to see if it's something that I could still do. Watching several videos on what the best pads to buy for me Chris your video was the cause and deciding factor for me . My delima was OEM or after market and cheap vs expensive. Seeing the production video showed me that this company did not short cut any where. I'm going with these because even if I only keep the vehicle another year, I still will be operating it and safety is of utmost importance. Thanks for producing the video, and I going to be checking the closest video on changing brake pads for my 2018 Nissan Murano Platinum. Vance P 9/1/2021

      Yeah, I'm used to removing, cleaning up and then reinstalling whatever comes from the factory!
      Usually in the UK, when you get the box, you literally get four pads. That's it. If you're lucky, you might get new caliper bolts, sometimes a couple shims, and if the car is a 'fancy' one, might come with wear indicators. (Both the steel tab ones or the electrical ones.) Piston cushions really would be a game-changer if they were included with pads.

      Organic brakes?!? Hmmm...I think some Googling is in my future.
      😂 Pasture raised, cage free, non GMO, gluten free, no MSG, fat free, peanut free, dairy free, low carb, sugar free, hormone free, vegan organic brakes 😂
      Edit: Well I learned something new! 👍~ Organic brake pads, sometimes called nonasbestos organic brake pads, are made from natural materials liked glass and rubber, as well as resins that can withstand high heat. In fact, the high heat helps to bind the brake pad materials together. ... As they wear, they also create more dust than other types of brake pads. ~

As it combines all of what Nicco Games wants to see on basic suspension tech, but with the special magnetic fluid dynamics and electronic control of that fluid from within the shock cavity being controlled by sensors and onboard computers.

      These aren't even pads for sale, not how they're made. Most car parts aren't made in USA anyways. And is usually a closely guarded secret. I worked in Canada making all the machines to make Brake pads and recycle shoes. I remember NAPA and AutoZone touring the factory with 20 suits. All pads shipped to them said "made in USA", total lie. Bet they dont make any shocks or struts anywhere in North America. Boring anyway, just punch presses

    I work for a company in Tennessee making brake pads. I'm a press operator there and we have a totally different system than that one shown. Fascinating how different our processes are. We make parts for Ford, GM, and Tesla mostly.
