Ceramic Vs Metallic Pads

Dave explains which brake pad performs best makes the least amount of noise lea.

Ceramic vs metallic pads.

Performance driven drivers prefer the metallic brake pads because they offer improved braking performance in a much wider range of temperatures and conditions. These pads are less durable than ceramic pads. Most expensive pads out there. That is the main reason why ceramic pads are expensive.

Metallic brake pads is easy. For many drivers especially those who value high performance the choice between ceramic vs. Ceramic pads can last longer than metallic pads. Semi metallic pad produce bit more.

Ceramic pads are typically the most expensive brake pad you can buy. If you plan on driving your car on a racetrack or even a spirited mountain run semi metallic brake pads are the clear choice. Less expensive than ceramic pads. Gentler on brake rotors than metallic.

Ceramic brake pads are quieter than metallic brake pads because they vibrate at a frequency above the range of human hearing. Ceramic brake pads cause much less noise in comparison to metallic brake pads because they are not as abrasive. Ceramic pads produce less brake dust. It is because ceramic pads are more efficient and have an excellent braking power compared to the semi metallic pads.

This takes a lot of stress off the brake discs which means they will last longer too. These pads are more durable than semi metallic pads. Metallic brake pads are noisier and produce more dust. Metallic brakes provide better cold bite than ceramic brakes and maintain much more consistent friction characteristics throughout their operating range.

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. Ceramic brake pads are the most expensive brake pads and they cost much more than the semi metallic brake pads.
