Some consider this the norm while I do not. I get 200K out of rotors with no problems because I do not use hard pads and take off factory pads when I buy a vehicle. I may change them a bit more often but I am not upset if my pads do not last 60K miles or more. Cheaper to replace pads a bit more often than pads and rotors or warped rotors too. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Re: Re: difference between ceramic and semi-metallic

I want to save money.

I will probally just buy the autozone duralast gold brand instead of the
standard lifetime warranty duralast pad.

Re: difference between ceramic and semi-metallic
Personally, I like to be able to stop when 'I' want to, no matter how
steep I am pointing down or how big my tires are so I go with the highest friction pad and shoe I can find. This also normally translates to the cheapest on the shelf also provided the cheapest have rivets holding the pad onto the backing plate. I have had far too many glued pads fall off over the years so stick with rivets. My brakes on both my Jeeps have worn down very nicely over the years without ever warping a rotor or drum. I only need to replace hard parts if something breaks, not from over wear.
