Ceramic Brake Pad Or Semi-Metallica Pads For 1994 Honda Accord LX Coupe?
Ceramic Brake pads May 31st, 2009hi im trying to figure out which pads are better semi-metallic or ceramic pads. they will be going on a 1994 honda accord lx coupe. the car has 140,000 miles on it. i dont really drive it to much and i dont race at all. im a pretty slow driver. i dont go on highways that much mostly just streets. im thinking to just get semi-metallica pads . can you give me some of your opinions? thanks for your time
ALSO I LIVE IN GLENDALE,ARIZONA AND IT GETS VERY HOTT!! HERE OVER 100 DEGREES THANKS
No more than you drive, I would go for the cheaper ones. They will stop you just fine.

semi-metallic are better for your application…
they are more "grippy" at low speeds…
ceramics are less grippy at low speeds, but have higher heat capacity, and won't glaze as easily (for high speed applications)

Go with the semi-metallic.
Ceramic pads work best when heated up by aggressive driving. They don't grip as well at normal operating temperatures.
