I took my car in for an inspection, and the mechanic told me that I’ll need to replace my brake pads within the next 5,000 miles. He’s recommending that I use ceramic pads, but I thought they were made out of metal. What are brake pads made of?
Material | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Organic: grass, fiber, rubber | Inexpensive | Wears out sooner |
Semi-metallic: metal shavings with resin | Good for extreme temps and heavy-duty use | Can be noisy |
Ceramic: ceramic fibers | Long-lasting | Expensive |
