What are the best brake pads suitable for you?

Every vehicle is equipped with a brake system on all four wheels. A brake system consist of the rotors, brake pads and a brake caliper. Brake pads are made of friction creating materials. Hence, when applying pressure on the brake pedal to make the car come to a stop, the pistons will push the two brake pads together on the sides of the rotor, creating friction to help the vehicle come to a stop.

This process of braking, will cause the rotors and brake pads to wear off slightly everytime the brake is being applied. This also mean that as time passes by, your brake pads will be worn off, and changing it timely will be essential for a safe and comfortable ride.

What makes a good brake pad?

Braking is more than just having the vehicle come to a stop. The ability of the brake pads being able to help it comes to a stop, ability to disperse heat, the lifespan of the pads, amount of noise it produces and the brake dust produced are considering factors when purchasing a brake pad.

Many individuals may opt to go for low costing brake pads, but you should bear in mind that cost= quality hence you should be prepared for what you are paying for. On the other hand, some others may opt for Genuine stock brake pads (Original Equipment Manufacturer parts), as they believe that genuine parts are the best option available. Again, the high price point of this parts does not necessary mean that the brake pads are of superior quality. Instead, its due to the product branding that makes these brake pads expensive.

*Pro Tip: Low Quality Brake Pad can be extremely noisy, wearing down your rotors faster which means spending more on renewing your brake system in the long run!

What are the most common type of brake pads available in the market?

Organic Brake Pads

Due to the composition of organic materials in the brake pads, these brake pads do not pollute as they lose the friction and are often easier disposed. In addition, these brake pads are softer and quieter than others on the market, but it may also mean that it will wear off faster and create more dust than others available on the market.

Ceramic Brake Pads

Ceramic Brake Pads have excellent braking power and disperse heat relatively well. They produce minimal heat and dust and are suited for most driving conditions. However, the high price point of these brake pads is a major turn off, hence having one may not be that necessary.

Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Between the ceramic brake pad and organic brake pad, you have the semi-metallic brake pads. These brake pads is the perfect sweetspot for those who expects a premium braking feel and yet at the same time expect a acceptable price range for their brakes.

Verdict: For the urban driving condition in Singapore, it is recommended to choose either Organic brake pads of semi-metallic brake pads as they are more economically friendly and ideal in terms of performance for our road conditions.
