What brake pads stop the best?
CERAMIC. 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.

Which brake pads are best ceramic or metallic?
Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.
Are drilled and slotted rotors better?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Should you change rotors with pads?
Some vehicles always require new pads and rotors because the rotors cannot be resurfaced. But for optimum brake performance and safety, always choose to replace your brake rotors when replacing your brake pads.
Are ceramic brake pads better than metallic?
Are copper free brake pads better?
Many of these new reduced-copper and copper-free friction materials actually perform better than the last-generation friction materials they replace. Improvements include better stopping power, improved wear resistance, and reduced dusting and noise.
