ProStop Premium ceramic formulas are engineered to match the specific vehicle's braking requirements producing original equipment performance and pedal feel while virtually eliminating brake squeal and dust. These ceramic brake pads are a best in class solution to your braking needs!

The preferred brand of the Pep Boys, ProStop Premium Ceramic brake pads offer tremendous bang for your buck!

Ceramic brake pads are made from material very similar to the type of ceramic used to make pottery and plates. Ceramic brake pad material, however, is denser and considerably more durable. Ceramic brake pads also have fine copper fibers embedded within them, to help increase their friction and heat conductivity.

Premium brake pads provide sufficient stopping power and fade resistance for everyday street driving but are not designed for the repetitive, high-speed stops of autocross or track events.

30,000 to 70,000 miles How long do ceramic brakes last? They generally last from 30,000 to 70,000 miles.

Ceramic brake pads produce a dust that is lighter in color and less likely to stick to wheels. Longer lasting, compared to organic or semi-metallic brake pads, due to the compounds in the friction material. Efficient heat dissipation which yields a longer brake pad lifespan susceptibility to fading or warping.

Basically, there are four different grades of brake pads on the world markets – 1) semi-metallics, 2) organics, 3) ceramics, and the newest of all types – 4) NAO Ceramic enhanced formulations. The lowest cost materials to blend where steel fibers constitute half or more of the brake pad volume.

Ceramic vs carbon-ceramic brakes Carbon-ceramic brake pads are the best brake pads for track use. They offer the most friction, stopping power and have the shortest braking distance. Ceramic brakes are best for daily driving. They can perform well at low temperatures while carbon ceramics may struggle.

And from a comfort standpoint, ceramic compounds provide much quieter braking because the ceramic compound helps dampen noise by generating a frequency beyond the human hearing range. "The ingredients in ceramic compounds produce a light-colored dust that is much less noticeable and less likely to stick to the wheels.

Ceramic brake pads, while quieter, are also able to handle extremely high temperatures with quick recovery, causing less damage to the brake rotors. As they wear, ceramic brake pads create a finer dust than semi-metallic brake pads, leaving less debris on the vehicle's wheels.

For luxury cars and some sporty vehicles, premium brake pads are quieter and cleaner. They make it easier to keep those wheels sparkling. However, less dust typically comes at a price: lower braking performance. This means your vehicle may feel different if you switch from an OE-style brake pad.

Ceramic brake pads are best recommended to customers who do a lot of commuting/city driving, enjoy the look of cleaner rims free of black brake dust and don't push their vehicle through severe-duty use like heavy towing or track driving.

100,000km The service life of carbon ceramic brake discs is enormous, renewed discs should last over 100,000km.

30,000 to 70,000 miles How long do ceramic brakes last? They generally last from 30,000 to 70,000 miles.

Carbon ceramic brakes are mostly used on sports and supercars like the: Porsche GT2. Ferrari 488 GTB.

Ceramic brake pads have excellent stopping power and disperse heat well. Ideal for most normal driving applications, they produce very little dust or noise and are long lasting. Many foreign and domestic vehicles are equipped with ceramic brake pad formulations from the factory.
