Ceramic, Semi-Metallic, & Organic: Brake Pad Types Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Ceramic, Semi-Metallic, and Organic brake pad types are the three most common brake pad material options available today. What type is the best, which pads last the longest, and which brake pads tend to cost the least? That and more is explained in this video!
Ceramic brake pads are Steve's favorite, since they typically handle the most heat. Organic pads offer great stopping power for a low cost, but with some trade-offs, such as producing a lot of brake dust. No matter what any company says, there is no such thing as a dust-free pad; brakes make dust as they wear down, and no one has made brake pads that don't wear down yet.

Your channel better grow huge!
Informative, clarity, well spoken, and even a clever joke (organic brakes, kale) 😆 😎
Bamboo fiber and kale! Hahaha. Nice quick overview. I generally go with ceramic these days. Less dust and work well. They don't tend to rust solid to the rotors when sitting either, which is a big thing for me.
Oh, I bet! Wasn't that what happened to that silver Nissan we pulled out of the vines?
Hahaha you got it! Semi metallic pads that corrosion welded. :P
Great vid. On a side note, a couple manufacturers are doing "hybrid" pds now i think they are ceramic/semi metalic
Thanks, and that sounds interesting! I'll look into that because I'm curious that.
Great video, This is something that a lot of people have trouble with when choosing new brakes or upgraded ones.
Thanks! Yeah, I remember letting people know all the options when I worked the parts counter. On common calipers like the ones I remember from my W-Body car, there would be six to eight options in stock!
yeah good job on that call back on the asbestos brake shoes !!!! i have read tv ads that inform people about financial re-compensation for those who have been infected by this product !
Thanks! I watched you video because I am trying to understand brake pad options for my (human-powered) touring bike. There are so many options available as technology evolves, and trickles down to bicycles, but it's been rather confusing to sort through all the waffle about the various attributes of each brake compound.
Your descriptions were very clear, and now -- even more so -- I'm leaning towards ceramic pads. Thanks again!
Glad to hear it is helping out! I'm not at all familiar with brakes for bikes like that, so there may be different characteristics at that size, weight, and speed. Ceramics tend to operate best with some heat in them, but as they have done with passenger car ceramic pads, I'm sure manufacturers have figured out the optimal heat range for them. I am assuming bike brakes don't get too hot when compared to a car, but perhaps that's an incorrect assumption?
@@CarsSimplified I think bike brakes share the same braking attributes and problems as motorcycles and cars, etc. We need the grip, we're concerned about dissipating heat efficiently to avoid fading...And I know I sure don't want to listen to my rotors squeak or howl the whole way when I'm or a nice quiet road touring. Mostly I ride on asphalt and my hydraulic brakes have been a brilliant upgrade from stock cable calipers.
So when I'm fully loaded, my bike, my gear, and I weigh about 350 to 400 lbs. That's quite a heavy weight for a bike, and I suppose it's relative to someone who drives a loaded SUV. ( ...I suspect my bike wants to be a HUM-V when she grows up! )
What would you recommend if I were driving a heavy vehicle built for durability and control??
Added weight definitely makes brakes work harder, and while I do see semi-metallic options for heavy duty, they are specifically labeled as such, and I still prefer ceramic in both the situation you described and in heavy vehicles.
@@CarsSimplified . I appreciate your input. That's what I'm beginning to understand about ceramic pads.
See...I knew a car guy could simplify this for me.
😁 Thanks a lot!
Very nice explanation
What type of Brake Pads are you running on your GTO? I just bought HAWKS “NEW”street 5.O pads recently. Can’t wait 😊 to try them out. Good reviews on them so far.
I have Wagner ThermoQuiet pads on the front for sure, maybe on the rear, I forget. I want to upgrade to a fancier set when I get it back on the road. Hawk makes good stuff, and I've got one of their levels on the rear of the Montego.
good video! nice and simple. was just looking to see if ceramic pads give me the benefits (long life and less dust) i was thinking.
do you also have a video on the differences in brake discs?
thanks
it was great man, keep going
Ty for sharing ur Knowledge 👍🏼
Super helpful. Subbed!
Thanks!
which pad type would you recommend for a 4x4 that sees street, trail, and tow duty? i'm considering converting to ceramics, but i've been told that i would have to use a harder brake rotor than came stock on my vehicle
Which material brake best/quickest with slotted & cross drilled rotors?
Helpful.. I wondered if my ceramic pads are compatible with a metal rotor. Coz it's significantly weaker now than the stock pad.
think ill go with oak wood,,they may smell like bbq when overheated but i think they will last and certainly be the quietest and no wear n tear to the rotors
I heard Akebono made great brake pads. Ever heard of them or used them?
I have them on the rear of the Montego. Good stuff, but the front is where you really get a sense of how good a set of pads are.
@@CarsSimplified exactly because the fronts do most of the braking and wear out faster. I would like to use them on my Crosstrek eventually.
I actually recently changed the pads on the Crosstrek; the correct front pads are super hard to find at the moment!
I believe Akebono is actually the OEM for many Asian vehicle pads. Nissan and Subaru specifically. Though it may vary from model to model and don't quote me on this. Either way, yes, I have always seen them get a lot of praise in reviews.
@@802Garage that's great to know, thanks!!!
why do I get more brake dust and whenever I brake it feels like I’m grinding on something going from 30 mph to 0 ..coming from OEM to ceramic pads
If old grooved/rusty rotors, they will eat ceramics. Generally softer than semi. Generally.
By how much differences between Ceramic vs semimetal pads in stopping?
10% -20 % difference? As for distances
Stopping distance is limited by traction, not braking power. Different pads and rotors have no effect on stopping distance. The only thing you can do to shorten your stopping distance is to get better tires.
I wish brake pad manufacturer would be a bit more transparent about their product. Just a simple organic or semi metallic label would do. Like I'm looking at cheap aftermarket brake pad and I can't even tell if it's organic or semi-metallic. The only clue I have is that they make a whole lot of dust and noisy - which goes against everything in their marketing product description.
Exactly. They no longer indicate whether the friction material is organic, semi-metallic, or ceramic. Years ago the friction material was always indicated. In addition, I cannot find specifications for friction materials for the various brake pads from the manufacturers. They don't reveal the nature of the friction material. I don't know why they will no longer tell you what the brake material is. I use semi-metallic. I have been assuming that if a magnet will stick to the friction material, then it's semi-metallic. On a side note, unfortunately they have taken copper out of semi-metallic friction material. I guess they figure that copper is an environmental pollutant. In addition to semi-metallic, I want "Edge Code" of FF (rather than FE or EE). That will be indicated on the friction material itself, or elsewhere on the shoe/pad.
HI i am rameshwar udgiri , currently i am in formula student design competition , i have the problems related to the friction material that what i choose for my vehicle ?
Hello! What issue are you having?
I want know wich better for my Suburban ceramic or metal bad?
For Subarban brakes you can try geobrakes.com they sell all oem brakes
i hear ceramics dont do so well in cold climates and need to heat up first to come to proper working point,,,also i do not see any other choice than metalic,semi metalic and ceramic,,have not heard organic,,,i need a brake and rotor job real soon for my pontic pursuit 2006,, i drive it in both hwy and urban and put on average 10k /yr and i live in canada what do you recomend?
Semi mettalic are usually best for street use. What you said about ceramics having to heat up in cold weather is true, but ceramic brakes aren't really meant for street use. They work fine on the street but are meant for the track.
@@Redtooth75 hmm idk anymore as i keep hearing diffrent things from sources,,but anyways i ordered a break and rotor kit from rockauto specifically for my car and year and the breaks in the kit are ceramic from centric but it says they are good stopping power in both hot and cold,,i just went with whatever came with the kit ,,they seem to be doing fine breaking in,very minimal noise if any ,they sound and fell good so far but maybe they need a bit more time padding in obviously ,,but why would you say they are not really meant for the streets?
I don’t know what brake pads are best for my Jetta 2017 someone recommend me please
For Jetta brakes you can try geobrakes.com they sell all oem brakes
For many years l bought the Cheapest always cleaning the mainly front wheels of the dirty ugly dust l bought Ceramic Wow no Cleaning what a Different
I use ceramic. Metal bar brake pads, and semi metal brake pads eats rotor.
Mechanics: Masks???? What's that?
Pretty basic vid. I suppose not for me
only ypur face, no brake pad, pass.
So what good combination for pads and rotors for a daily car and performance in the same time? Ceramic with drill rotors?
I personally run slotted rotors with ceramic brake pads on two of my three current vehicles (one I haven't had to do brakes on yet) but drilled or slotted is generally overkill from a performance standpoint until you're getting the brakes hot enough to cause brake fade. They do look pretty cool, though. I prefer slotted for daily driving cars since drilled rotors need to have some decent R&D for them to be done well, while slotted has less of a weak point added to it if little to no research is done on their design.
@@CarsSimplified thank you
the fucking dad joke at the end, hit the brakes and that like/sub button, hahaha i was like, welp shit, ya got me
