Information (to be checked from current system) - to be updated 

1. Thickness of brake pad (>6 mm) - current is less than 5mm, need to buy new ones. New ones have  0.3 inches thick
2. Brake pad contact area (>600mm^2) - should be 2 inches area contact
3. Maximum pressure allowed in brake lines - assume lines meet max pressure
