Method and apparatus for friction element control in spot-type automotive disc brakes provides for use in a disc brake ( 10 ) of the kind comprising a fixed caliper ( 32 ) and at least one axially slidable disc ( 12, 14 ), a friction element mounting in which the friction clement ( 20 ) is supported on lengthwise guides ( 52 ) in the region of its circumferentially spaced ends ( 62, 64 ) and is further supported by an axially-extending abutment element ( 66 ) fixed to its upper edge and received in a channel ( 68 ) in the brake caliper ( 32 ). The abutment element an its channel serve to provide improved support for the friction element in resisting torque applied to the friction element during braking.
