Ceramic Pads Rotor Wear

What are the best brake pads in 2020.

Ceramic pads rotor wear.

As far as price goes metallic brake pads tend to fall somewhere between organic and ceramic pads. Every brake pad manufacturer says that they re the best and that they re an upgrade from whatever you already have. The advantages of ceramic brake pads are superb stopping power quiet operation low brake dust buildup superior longevity and low wear on rotors. These pads use ceramic compounds and copper fibers in place of the semi metallic pad s steel fibers.

They tend to be noisier than ceramic or organic brake pads meaning a louder ride as well as more stressful for the brake system adding more strain and wear on the brake rotors. There s a right way and a wrong way to do anything and through the thick storm of relentless marketing hype that line can get a little blurred. Early ceramic brake pads tended to wear down rotors more quickly and performed poorly until warmed up so this argument failed when considering the cost of frequently replacing the worn rotors. Ceramic pad manufacturers claim that because ceramic pads last longer they actually cost less money in the long run.

This allows the ceramic pads to handle high brake temperatures with less heat fade provide faster recovery after the stop and generate less dust and wear on both the pads and rotors.
