What is the difference between different types of brake pads?
It all comes down to what the pads are made of and the temperature at which they perform the best. Street pads are made of a softer material and they work well at lower temperatures and do not require any warm up time. They are perfect for eveyday driving. For weekend racers, semi-race pads are their choice. They are made of harder material and perform well at offer both low and temperatures. And finally, the racing pads offer the best high temperature performance but they do require to be warmed up before working well. Remember, that street pads will cause brake sooner than the semi-racing and racing pads.
