Which brake pads material is better to use on a vehicle: semi-metalic or ceramic?
Ceramic Brake pads September 30th, 2009Which one is more quieter?
the ceramic’s dissipate heat better, so if you do a lot of braking , like in the mountains, ceramic might be better. Or, learn to drive without braking. Wagner has a line of pads called ‘Thermo-quiet’ I think that have a thick plate on the back that keeps them quieter and provides excellent braking.
I just had my front brake pads and rotors replaced and now makes squeaking noise when driving?

Which are better for what?
Semi-metallic are generally quieter, but do not provide as good stopping performance, especially for repeated use like on mountain grades.

I prefer semi-metalic, ceramic pads are noisey and wear out your brake rotors faster. Using BG Stop Squeal on your semi-metalic brake pads will help to make sure you don’t have any sqealing noises.
