Ceramic Brake Pads With Steel Rotors

Ceramic brake pads also have fine copper fibers embedded within them to help increase their friction and heat conductivity.

Ceramic brake pads with steel rotors.

Redstuff ceramic brake pads have always been known for its low dust ability but the latest blend has greatly reduced the phenomenon of pad pick up or disc scoring and reduced dust even further. Carbon ceramic brakes on the other hand are virtually immune to corrosion. Our high quality imported ceramic brake pads are designed to provide a smooth stop with no brake dust left behind on the wheels while offering a longer pad life than other pad materials of similar quality. These pads use ceramic compounds and copper fibers in place of the semi metallic pad s steel fibers.

The zinc plating on the braking surface of the drilled slotted rotors area where the brake pads contact when you brake will come off during braking. These brake pads are made from ceramic very similar to the type of ceramic used to make pottery and plates but is denser and a lot more durable. Carbon ceramic brake rotors offer tremendous heat dissipation benefits simultaneous with very low mass says ron younkin chevrolet s engineering manager of brakes rear wheel drive and. A ceramic brake pad is too harsh and produces excessive wear so in fact brake pads used with ceramic brake discs are made from organic compounds similar to those used with traditional iron brake discs.

Our imported oe replacement steel rotors are made to the same oem factory specifications thickness and weight as the originals to provide better performance and longer life. Another option for brake pads are ceramic brake pads. Tested at the uk motor industries research association mira in witnessed tests early redstuff reduced car stopping distance in tests by almost 50 feet from 100 mph offering a staggering 30.

Unfortunately the steel strands used in semi metallic pads to provide strength and conduct heat away from rotors also generate noise and are abrasive enough to increase rotor wear. The braking surface the cross drills holes and or slots if applicable can develop surface rust over time depending on weather climate driving conditions or left parked for days. This is because the material they re made from is much less reactive than steel and iron due to the material s tightly bonded structure. Since they were first used on a few original equipment applications in 1985 friction materials that contain ceramic formulations have become recognized for their desirable blend of traits.
