Many sport or performance vehicles come standard equipped with semi-metallic brake pads from their manufacturers. This is because semi-metallic brake pads have the ideal combinations of attributes suited for these vehicles and stopping power is one of them. Semi-metallic brake pads have a high heat threshold and have higher brake fade resistance compared to a ceramic brake pad. They may also be less expensive than ceramic brake pads; however, semi-metallic brake pads do have a few small disadvantages when compared to ceramic brake pads.
Semi-metallic brake pads are a mixture of brass, copper, steel and metallic fibers. These materials are more abrasive and can potentially cause the brake rotors to wear down more quickly. Compared to a ceramic brake pad, semi-metallic brake pads may not last as long and may produce a noticeable amount of brake dust. There is also a possibility that your brakes may create noise or low squeal, however since semi-metallic brake pads were designed for light or heavy track use, noise is generally not an issue.
We recommend semi-metallic brake pads for drivers that demand the ultimate stopping response and power. This stopping power, to some drivers, compensates for the few possible minor disadvantages semi-metallic brake pads have.
