Understanding the differences: Organic, metallic, and Ceramic Brake pads

Brakes are a vital part of your vehicle’s operation and safety. You need them to work correctly so you can stop in time when traveling on roads and highways.

What are the differences among organic, metallic, and ceramic brakes?

Organic, metallic, and ceramic brake pads all have different materials in them. In general, organic brake pads last the least amount of time, while ceramic brake pads last the longest. There are also differences in price: ceramic brake pads last the longest.

Ceramic brake pads are made of high-quality ceramic composites that shunt heat away from the pads and rotors very effectively. Ceramic brake pads are the most expensive, but they last upwards of 70,000 miles. They’re used in high-performance vehicles.
