Be aware that ceramic brake pads do not have the braking power of metallic brake pads. If you pull a trailer or haul heavy loads just know that you will have to press the brake pedal much harder to achieve the desired effect.

@elir.torres8642 10 месяцев назад

Ceramic pads have a higher core heating and melting point this gives it better performance against fatigue. This is why cheap $19.99 pads fail becuse they literally melt off giving you less stopping power. This is why NASA and ROSCOSMOS use ceramic tiles for their shuttle re entry vehicles.

@jameshuffman5945 10 месяцев назад

Organic pads will save your Rotors, ceramic pads wear out the Rotors. Pads are easy to replace stay away from Ceramic pads unless you want to constantly change the rotors. My 2004 Acura MDX is still running the original Rotors, the Dealership warned me NOT to use Ceramic pads because they might last forever but they wear out the Rotors. They only recommend OEM pads which essentially are soft material. The Rotors have over 270000 miles on them and were barely under original thickness last time checked.

@allred53 10 месяцев назад

I learned that from researching for my Harley brakes

@Willppyro 10 месяцев назад

It dosent matter. You should be changing the pads any time you change the rotors anyway. I promise you if you get decent rotors they will outlast one set of pads

@Likely_Alucard 10 месяцев назад

I would double check the measurements on that rotor... Buut problem with softer materials is brake fade or glassing. But it you aren't straining the brakes too bad, I guess it doesn't matter.... the good old "it depends" I'd imagine putting overspec brakes on a car might reduce wear.... IDK I am no expert

@LadyMistborn 10 месяцев назад

Are you sure about that, even organic pads won't make rotors last 270k Plus they have awful stopping distances and tbh are hard to find

@jonathannorthup5705 10 месяцев назад

Great for small cars and SUVs but I don't recommend them for big trucks if your going to be hauling trailers ceramic pads don't allow heat to transfer away from the rotors as well as semi metallics and they end up warping before your pads wear out! Happened a few times to my boss before we figured out that's what was happening!

@Willppyro 10 месяцев назад

True. Get them for sports cars with drilled and slotted rotors. The holes will help with the heat transfer.

@LadyMistborn 10 месяцев назад

How exactly do ceramics affect rotor cooling? They have slots through the middle for cooling specifically so the heat doesn't go into the caliper/fluid Also semi metallics leave tons of residue and metal dust which would actually reduce rotor cooling

@neilr1877 10 месяцев назад

Brake noise has very little to do with the pad itself. The main factors are almost always the way they are installed. Most workshops will use copper grease on the back of the pads rather than a thin synthetic substance Ceratec. The grease causes your uneven surface , vibration and squeal ! The other two classic mistakes are not cleaning the hubs down properly when replacing discs/rotors which again creates an even surface and noise ! The last is not replacing the shims etc when you change the pads. Some cheap pads don’t come with them so people use the old ones and because they are worn the pads move and you get noise ! Visited hundreds of workshops that have complained about brake noise from a product, train them around these three steps and the complaints stop. Even really good, experienced workshops I’ve visited can miss one of the three areas I’ve mentioned.

@thegaulbegaul 10 месяцев назад

Yea learned this lesson years ago. You can actually get ceramic pads that aren't that much more but yea some are over double the price as semi metallic ones but we have more options now more than ever.

@CodyHvids 10 месяцев назад

This is terrible advice as ceramic brake pads tend to squeak a lot until they're up to temperature. I've actually found that the semi metallic squeak the least, but they don't last as long as the ceramic brake pads do, but they also stop your car faster, which is the whole point of having a break. So do what you will

@therealRustyShackleford 10 месяцев назад

Ceramics are harder but cleaner than semi metallic. Semi metallic pads are softer, usually quieter, actually outperform ceramics, easier on rotors, cheaper, but are very dirty and wear out faster.

@IsleOfFeldspar 10 месяцев назад

If you use ceramic brake pads and regular rotors, you have a higher likelihood of warping the rotors from extra heat generated because ceramic doesn't absorb heat.

@Dude_Ness 10 месяцев назад

squeaky brakes < soft brakes😂💀

@permabulk1454 10 месяцев назад

This could not be further from the truth Scotty.. I’m beginning to not be able to rely on all your info anymore!! Brake pads are meant to rub against the rotor, they are floating at all times meaning they’re not completely stuck in one spot. That’s what your free sliding caliper guide pins are for. The squeak you hear is from the actual caliper making contact with the backing plate on the pads and not being adequately greased. OR it’s the wear indicator that is now squealing because your pads are completely shot and need replacing. Also, brake rotors can not and do not “warp” when you get a “warp” feeling, it’s due to uneven brake pad material being unevenly dispersed all over the rotor (usually due to improper brake bedding procedure when the pads and rotors were new) causing a vibration or uneven brake wear, hence the warped vibration feeling.
