Re: Ceramic brake pads

Unless there has been a recent development, ceramic brakes were used for their capabilities on dealing with heat. However, this meant that the compound was pretty hard. Therefore, due to the hard compound, the amount of friction they provided at the same temperature as softer compound pads was less and so needed heating up to get the same braking force.

Any new pads will need bedding in. However, ceramic pads are an overkill for your vehicle because they usually need heat before they start working to their full potential.


I have never heard that before. Do you have a reference to this?
