OEM Auto Brake Pads

The disc brake system in your vehicle depends on the brake pads doing their job. That job? Cushioning the contact between brake calipers and brake rotors as they work together to produce the friction you need to slow your car, SUV, van, or pickup down That prevents damage caused by metal parts abrading against each other.

The Four Types of Brake Pads

Organic: cars and SUVs like the Honda Accord or Jeep Wrangler usually come with organic brake pads, since they're affordable, reliable, and easiest on your rotors.

Metallic: these are usually found on trucks like the Ram 1500. They're firmer than organic, and better able to withstand heat.

Ceramic: Also found on trucks, ceramic pads are quieter and generally perform better in on wet roads.

Carbon fiber: These brake pads are usually reserved for sports cars and high-performance models such as the Toyota GR86, due to their tough, temperature-resistant nature.
