LordJim Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Subject pretty much says it all. Is there any downside to ceramic brakes? I'm looking for something with a bit more bite and it seems that ceramics are the way to go. From what I can tell, in addition to more bite I'll also get a more consistent feel (no fade) and less dusting (Yay!). Is there a downside to ceramics? - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Maybe slightly increased rotor and pad wear, but it's not really a big difference. I can't think of any other negatives. I love my ceramic brake pads. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyd2005 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ceramic pads still dust but theoretically they don't stick to the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rougeben83 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 lol, here I was thinking ceramic brake rotors... Ceramic brake pads you mean? . Actually, semi-metallics are better for more initial bite, which is what most people equate to good brakes. I would say ceramics are more for those that are concerned with dusting. Try Akebono pads; people I know have said they dust less than OEM, but it was on different cars (MPV, Taurus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
