Hey guys,

My brake pads dust horriblely on my rims, can I switch to ceramic pads? I called the Ford house in my town and the woman said that it was a bad idea. But, she was a woman, so of course I'm getting another opinion. hahaha.

Thanks
Garrett

 

yes you can, I have Hawk ceramic pads now and there great. Did she tell you why?

 

"it will hurt your braking performance"

lol.

 

Smart man. Get the ceramics. Some people do complain about it being softer than the semi-mets, but you will get less brake dust. It really isn't that big of a difference, you will feel it, but it doesn't really hurt your stopping distance or anything. I think they do a better job actually.

 

Thanks guys, when it's time for me to do a brake job, I will be getting ceramic pads. I'm obsessed with having a clean car, so the ceramics will help my rims look better between washings.

Dust ftl.
