Which Brake Pads Have the Best Braking Performance?
1 Answers
Carbon fiber brake pads offer the best braking performance and are primarily used in racing. Next are brake pads made of ceramic-graphite composite materials, which have good thermal conductivity, high heat resistance, and low noise. When replacing brake pads, it is advisable to use the same material as the old brake pads. For urban commuting, where quick braking response is crucial—such as achieving braking with a light touch—it is recommended to choose "low-metallic" pads. If you prefer a "smooth pedal feel" with gentle and stable braking, "graphite" pads or "ceramic-graphite" composite pads are good options. For aggressive driving or frequent high-speed long-distance trips, "ceramic" pads are more suitable due to their relatively stable friction coefficient and minimal heat fade. The actual performance of brake pads ultimately depends on the manufacturer's R&D capabilities. Here are three world-renowned brake pad brands: BREMBO (Italy): Known for its progressive braking response, even slightly modified suspension systems won’t cause excessive nose-diving during braking. JURID (USA): The official brake pad supplier for luxury brands like Rolls-Royce, Maserati, and Lamborghini, with highly reliable production processes and quality control. REMSA (Spain): Features a unique 650°C high-temperature ablation production process, with high technical and manufacturing barriers, making it a hallmark of high-performance brake pads.
