Brakes are one of the most important component in a vehicle. If you talk about performance it includes good brakes also, because if you go fast you need the same amount of stopping power to reduce that speed.
It is a mechanical device that absorbs energy from a moving system. It is used to slow or stop a moving vehicle, which is mostly accomplished by means of friction.
?:-
There are two kind of brakes Disc Brakes and Drums Brakes. Disc brakes are mounted on front wheels and Drum brakes are mounted on rear wheels. In some modern high-end cars have Disc brakes on all four wheels.
These are the :-

Pedal: It is located in the center of the accelrator and clutch pedal. The brake system is activated only after pressing this pedal.
Reservoir:- It is the brake fluid or brake oil which is used on the braking system.
Lines:- These are pipes through which the brake fluid flows in the vehcile.
Pads:- Steel backing plates used in disk brakes. It is usually made of ceramic, metal or other hard-wearing composite materials.
Shoes:- 2 pieces of sheet steel welded together that carry the brake lining.
Drum:- It is the rotating drum-shaped component used in drum brakes.
:- It is a cast iron brake disc connected to wheel and/or axle, sometimes made of reinforced carbon-carbon, ceramic matrix or other composite.
Lining:- It is heat-resistant, soft but tough material with a high friction characteristic housed inside a brake shoe.
:- It is a moving component contained by a cylinder.
:- A device on which brake pads and pistons are mounted
Calipers/Sliding Caliper:- It moves relative to rotor; uses a piston on a single side of disc to push inner brake pad into braking surface before pulling caliper body in to apply pressure on opposite side of disc.
Calipers:- It does not move relative to rotor and is sensitive to imperfections; uses one or more single pairs of opposing pistons to clamp from each side of the rotor.
: A device that converts the non-hydraulic pressure from your foot into hydraulic pressure and controls slave cylinders at the opposite end of the hydraulic system.
: A component used to enhance the master cylinder and augment pressure from a drivers foot through the use of a vacuum in the engine intake; only effective while vehicles engine is running.
