Ceramic brake pads, such as Akebono and TRW, are great options for any road going vehicle when the goal is secure stopping power paired with low brake dust and low noise. Please note that if your car is equipped with "dusty" semi-metallic pads, ceramic pads don't offer as much initial bite at the top of the pedal. Ceramic pads still stop in the same distance as semi-metallic pads, just by using more pedal. For a further in-depth dive into Ceramic Pads and other compounds please see our comparison video below.
