What is the difference between ceramic and metallic brake pads?

The main difference between ceramic and semi-metallic brake pads is materials, noise, dust, and bite. Ceramic pads are made from ceramic fibers and run quieter, produce far less brake dust, and last longer, which makes them ideal for everyday Miami driving and keeping your wheels clean. Semi-metallic pads contain metal fibers that grip hard, handle heat well, and cost less, making them popular for trucks, towing, and aggressive driving, though they are noisier and dustier. Ceramic pads typically cost more up front but reward you with comfort and cleanliness. The best choice depends on your vehicle and how you drive. At Motoro Cars, our ASE-certified techs help you pick the right pad during your free brake inspection.
