  • Brakes are the entire system, and include components such as the brake pads, rotors, discs, calipers, master cylinder, lines, and, brake drums if you own an older vehicle.
  • Brake pads are just one part of the braking system, and are designed to put pressure on the brake rotors to stop the vehicle.
