What type of brake pads are best.?

Question

I need to replace my brake pads. I deliver a Postal mail route with about 500 stops per day.
What type of pads will last the longest and give good performance?
Semi-metallic, titanium, ceramic, or other???

Answer 1

ceramic pads are the best on the market right now they cut down on brake dust and also stop a lot better,there's nothing better out there to buy right now,these are the best there is for stopping and over all performance,their expensive but well worth the money,good luck.

Answer 2

Ceramic pads are much nicer than any other type. I pull a lot of heavy trailers for the farm and my brakes stop the momentum from the weight well.

Answer 3

Ceramic is much cleaner then semi-metallic or full metallic. Ceramic pads will not grind up the brake rotors as do metallic pads.

Answer 4

Ceramic are good pads. I got some bendix titanuim and they caused more dust than regular so I will never buy them again and I did machine my rotors. I would suggest going with Bendix Severe Duty semi-metallic pads for your situation, they are probably in the same price range as ceramics.

Answer 5

Best to use what the car came equipped with, especially on higher end vehicles like yours. Pad & rotor combinations can be crucial to smooth, but more importantly "quiet" stopping. Once you start mixing various after-market or 'miracle' products, who knows what you will end up with.

Answer 6

I like the Hawk brand the best for aftermarket.

Answer 7

titanium is best for you there the best in brakes

Answer 8

ceramic
