I have heard about ceramic brake pads for some time.
Ceramic or metallic brake pads for mustang.
They also produce less dust than metallic pads and the dust that they do produce is lighter in color and easier to wash off.
Most importantly ceramic brake pads are more resistant to heat which also preserves the life of your brakes too.
It is because ceramic pads are more efficient and have an excellent braking power compared to the semi metallic pads.
Metallic brake pads are noisier and produce more dust.
I ve been doing brake jobs and tune ups since my first car a 49 flat head 8 in 1957.
So like their metallic counterparts they do use metal parts but the main material is ceramic.
Ceramic brake pads are quieter than metallic brake pads because they vibrate at a frequency above the range of human hearing.
This takes a lot of stress off the brake discs which means they will last longer too.
Ceramic brake pads are the most expensive brake pads and they cost much more than the semi metallic brake pads.
Performance driven drivers prefer the metallic brake pads because they offer improved braking performance in a much wider range of temperatures and conditions.
I finally decided to try them and they work great from what i can see.
Ceramic brake pads comes with quieter stops cleaner wheels and generally longer pad life due to their harder composition.
Semi metallic brake pads giving you the best braking experience in various temperature conditions and you need less pressure to be applied to the brake pedal.
Ceramic brake pads cause much less noise in comparison to metallic brake pads because they are not as abrasive.
I used ceramic pads.
Although in such type of brake pads you would be able to find a small amount of metal.
Developed in the 1980s ceramic brake pads area blend of super strong ceramic think of it a bit like pottery fired in a kiln with copper fibers embedded into the pad compound.
It s been two weeks and the bonus is the ceramic dust does not adhere to the wheels.
Metallic brake pads is easy.
And the other side these pads are noisier than ceramic brake pads with giving you extra dust on wheels.
For many drivers especially those who value high performance the choice between ceramic vs.
I changed my brake pads a few months back and i have now noticed that the wheels have a red brown dust on them most of the time.
I never noticed this with the stock pads.
These pads are the clear choice for comfortable driving.
Has anybody else noticed this if you used ceramic pads.
