Brake rotors are made from cast iron, beside the ceramic rotors on the Porsche Carrera GT, what other rotor material are you talking about?Chopper1 said:.Brake pads are made to work with certain rotor materials.I don't know which go together but look into this before you buy.You could end up with incompatible pad-rotor combinations.This could cost braking power or cause excessive wear of pads or rotors.(I do remember what the article said about that)
Your car is originally equipped with ceramic pads from the factory.MEAN03GT said:Organic = Cheap.
If it were me i would just go for the ceramic, im taking these ****ty stock ford pads off asap, ceramic is just better imo.
Ceramics are rotor friendly, unlike some semi metallic.tomustang said:those ceramic pads will destroy your stock rotors before you even stop (being sarcastic, but it will happen quicker)

dunno but this IS from augFalconGuy016 said:Didn't we go through a gigantic thread about this? Like yesterday?
blah blah, ceramic should never be used on stock rotors because they cause more heat than any other, they shouldn't even be an option when changing the pads, if you want to use a ceramic pad then upgrade your whole system4u2nv said:Ceramic has a higher heat tolerance, leading to reduced fade under extreme usage.
Assuming we are talking about the '98 mentioned in your sig and its probable mileage, I recommend an upgrade to the rotors before going ceramic.

Rotors do not warp. It's pad wear that transferred onto the rotor unevenly.ForPointSex said:When I used ceramic's, they warped my rotors in 6 months. Now I'm using new rotors with motorcraft pads.
The ceramic did stop better though.

(using my new found knowledge even in the autofiled..lol)
