How To Choose The Right Brake Pads

Fully Metallic Brake Pads

Also called sintered brake pads, these are constructed from metals such as copper and brass alloys. These are very reliable and create great friction to stop a vehicle in almost any conditions. The trade-off is that they tend to be loud, and to cause more wear to the rotors and drums than other options. They also generate the most heat, which can cause damage to the rest of the vehicle’s system, if the driver is riding the brakes and causing that much heat regularly.
