Carbon metallic vs ceramic.
Carbon metallic brake pads or ceramic.
Weight savings of up to 70 improved handling and driveability.
Ceramic brake pads are the new ish kid on the block.
So like their metallic counterparts they do use metal parts but the main material is ceramic.
Cons of metallic brake pads.

I found two types i am interested in.
