What are the 4 types of brake pads?

There are four types of brake pads—semi-metallic, non-asbestos organic (NAO), low-metallic NAO, and ceramic—and it’s important to know which type is best for your vehicle.

Which brake pads are better ceramic or carbon fiber?

Carbon ceramic discs are superior to carbon-carbon discs for road cars because the ceramic matrix allows them to generate friction at daily driving temperatures. They are also more abrasion resistant to brake pads, and they are less expensive to produce vs. carbon-carbon because of the reduced processing time.

Is carbon fiber brake pads good?

Carbon fiber brakes, which utilize both a carbon rotor and brake pad, have far superior high-temperature stability, thermal conductivity, and specific heat to steel. To put it simply, where heat is the enemy of steel brakes, carbon fiber steps up to the plate and performs better as the pads and rotors heat up.

Which brake pads are best ceramic or metallic?

Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.

Made with our carbon-fiber ceramic formula to increase braking power without sacrificing everyday drivability. Positive mold technology delivers consistent wear and performance while the powder coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion. Our low-dust formulation is verified through 3rd party on-vehicle testing.

Do ceramic pads wear rotors faster?

How long do carbon fiber brakes last?

While conventional cast iron discs or iron rotors may last up to 60,000 miles, carbon ceramic rotors can go without replacement over 100,000 miles or even outlive your vehicle.
