Replacement intervals vary by driving conditions (typically 40,000-70,000 km). Monitor wear indicators or measure remaining thickness (replace at 2-3 mm). Aggressive driving, towing, or urban stop-and-go traffic accelerate wear.
Ceramic pads offer quieter operation, less dust, and consistent performance but are costlier. Semi-metallic pads provide better heat dissipation and cold bite but may generate more noise and dust. Ceramic is common for passenger vehicles; semi-metallic suits heavier-duty applications.
Yes. Proper bedding (break-in) transfers friction material to rotors, establishing optimal contact. Follow manufacturer's procedure (typically 5-10 moderate stops from 50-60 km/h with cooling intervals) to prevent glazing and ensure full performance.
