Re: Good Semi Metallic Vs. Economy Ceramic Brake Pads

I prefer carbon-metallic pads. They do make a lot more dust, but the primary function of brakes is to STOP the vehicle. Nothing works better for that than carbon-metallic. Ceramic pads greatest advantage is that they do not create as much visible dust. That's great, so that your wheels look so much cleaner as they drive under the rear of a semi trailer in a hot panic stop.
