Brakes vs. Brake Pads: What’s the Difference? 

“Brakes” and “brake pads” are often used interchangeably. However, there is a clear difference between the two: 

• Brakes refer to the brake system as a whole, including the brake pads, rotors, discs, calipers, master cylinder, lines, and, if you drive an older vehicle, brake drums. 
• Brake pads are an important part of the brake system and apply pressure to the brake rotors or discs to bring the vehicle to a stop.
