Are max brake pads any good?

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality rotors and pads, FYI the pads burn off the black coating where they touch the rotors. Initially they seem to be high quality rotors and pads. FYI, the black burns off the surfaces the brake pads touch. That’s OK, as the rest of the rotor is protected by the black coating to prevent rust.

Are ceramic brake pads worth it?

Ceramic pads also provide a firmer brake pedal than organic pads. They do not perform quite as well as other pads in extreme cold and are not well-suited to performance use. But ceramic brake pads are quiet, comfortable, and durable pads, excellent for daily driving.

How many miles do ceramic brake pads last?

You can expect a semi metallic pad to last for about 50,000 miles. Ceramic pad car brake systems are found on luxury cars and are meant for comfortable braking. Carbon ceramic brakes aren’t meant for use in high-performance conditions but have a long lifespan of about 70,000 miles.

Why are ceramic brake pads bad?

They also don’t absorb heat well in extreme braking conditions as ceramic material acts more like an insulator than a conductor. This can lead to increased heat transfer into the braking system, so lots of frequent, heavy braking with these pads is not a good idea.

Are ceramic or metallic brake pads better?

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.

Are upgraded brake pads worth it?

Performance Brake Pads Upgrading your brake pads to a performance formulation has a lot of benefits. The biggest benefit is that performance pads resist fade much, much better than stock brakes. You’ll get better performance at the track, as performance pads tend to stick better once they get hot.

Do ceramic brake pads wear out rotors faster?

Are ceramic pads hard on rotors?

Because they are soft, ceramic pads do not damage rotors and provide smooth, even friction during braking. Ceramic pads are also clean and produce less dust as they wear down. They also wear down slowly and provide good heat transfer away from the rotor.

Do ceramic pads ruin rotors?
