Subaru Forester, Legacy Front Brake Pads

Nibk no PN7499

A decent brake pad is much more than just something that can stop a car. When selecting a brake pad, factors to consider include the capacity to absorb and disperse heat, the rate at which it will wear, and the amount of noise and dust it produces.

It could be tempting to select the brake pads that are the cheapest. You really do get what you pay for, it’s vital to remember that. Low-quality brake pads can be exceedingly noisy, degrade more quickly, and wear down other brake system components like brake rotors, costing more over time.

WHAT BRAKE PAD TYPES ARE MOST COMMON?

1. ORGANIC NON-ASBESTOS

Non-asbestos organic (NAO) brake pads don’t pollute as they lose friction material and are simple to dispose of because of their organic makeup. NAO pads are softer than most other brake pads, which makes them quieter, but it also means that they wear faster and may cause dust. They are best suited for lightweight vehicle applications that don’t demand a lot of harsh braking.

1. CERAMIC

Ceramic brake pads are very effective at stopping and dissipating heat. They are durable, make very little dust or noise, and are perfect for most everyday driving situations. Many domestic and foreign cars come from the factory with ceramic brake pad compositions.

1. SEMI-METALLIC

Semi-metallic brake pads provide strong braking ability and are excellent heat dispersers. They do produce more dust than ceramic brake pads, and they can be noisier. Because these friction compounds are harsher than those used in most other types of pads, they may cause your braking rotors to wear out more quickly.
