Why aren Ceramic brake pads recommended?
First of all, Ceramic Brake Pads were NEVER designed to be a performance brake pad! They typically have lower friction coefficients, and act as an insulator, which can raise rotor temperatures in cast-iron disc systems. High-quality semi-metallic pads offer the best combination of stopping power and extended-wear of any brake pad type on the marketplace today! Premium-grade semi-metallic or hybrid pads are more effective for handling elevated temperatures and dissipating heat away from the rotors. Premium-grade, semi-metallic pads can offer LOW-DUST, NOISE-FREE Performance without sacrificing stopping power and increasing rotor temperatures! Brake Pad Bedding-in In absence of the bedding-in process rotor surfaces require constant regeneration of transfer film, which may not be stable for long periods of time. Use of a freshly ground rotor in absence of transfer film cause friction from cutting, plowing, or scoring the asperities on the surface of the rotor which leads to inconsistencie
