When installing friction on a vehicle, it is important to decide what type of material you are going to use. The two most common friction types are ceramic and semi-metallic. Consider the following questions when deciding which friction material to go with.
• What was the original equipment on the vehicle?
• What type of vehicle is this going on?
• What is the vehicle used for?
• What is the driver's driving style?
• What features and benefits are most important?

In this video, we discuss how to determine what type of brake pads were on the vehicle you are working on. We also discuss how to determine what type of material to put on your vehicle.
What Friction was on Your Vehicle?
When doing a brake job, take a look at the surface of the rotor. This will tell you what type of friction was on the vehicle.
If there is a lip on the edge of the rotor and/or the rotor surface has a bumpy surface, that tells you that semi-metallic pads were on the vehicle.
If there is a layer of friction material on the surface of the rotor, that tells you that ceramic pads were on the vehicle.
Semi-Metallic Friction
This formula is best for larger trucks, vehicles used for towing and specialty vehicles. This pad is great for drivers who use their vehicle for situations beyond every day driving. It is a great formula for drivers looking for strong pedal feel, great stopping power and a solid performance.
Ceramic Friction
Ceramic is the most common material in the marketplace today. The biggest strength of ceramic is it provides a clean, noise-free, and low-dust operation. This formula is best used for everyday drivers looking for premium braking performance.
