Both ceramic and metallic brake pads have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better depends on your specific driving needs and preferences.

are usually quieter and produce less dust than metallic brake pads. They also tend to last longer and provide better stopping power when the brakes are applied. However, ceramic brake pads can be more expensive than metallic brake pads and they may not perform as well as metallic brake pads in extreme driving conditions, such as high-speed driving or racing.

, on the other hand, are typically less expensive than ceramic brake pads and are better suited for high-performance driving situations. They also tend to provide better stopping power when the brakes are hot. However, metallic brake pads can be noisier and produce more dust than ceramic brake pads. They also tend to wear down brake rotors more quickly.

Ultimately, the decision between ceramic and metallic brake pads comes down to your individual driving needs and preferences. If you prioritize quietness and low dust production, ceramic brake pads may be the better choice. If you need better performance in high-speed or extreme driving conditions, metallic brake pads may be the better choice.

      Various Types of Bearing Brake Disc(source from :rdbrake.com)
      The primary function of bearing brake discs is to provide a stable and reliable surface for the brake pads to grip, thereby facilitating effective braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads clamp onto the spinning brake disc, generating friction that slows down the wheel's rotation. The bearings within the brake disc assembly ensure smooth and consistent rotation, minimizing wear and tear on the braking system.
      Types of Bearing Brake Discs
      Ventilated Brake Discs: These discs feature internal vanes or vents that allow air to circulate, dissipating heat more efficiently. They are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty applications where heat management is crucial.
      Solid Brake Discs: These are simple, flat discs without internal vents. They are typically used in smaller or lighter vehicles where excessive heat build-up is less of a concern.
      Drilled and Slotted Discs: These discs have holes and grooves that enhance heat dissipation and improve braking performance, especially under extreme conditions. They also help in expelling dust and debris from the braking surface.
      Composite Brake Discs: Made from a combination of materials such as cast iron and carbon composites, these discs offer superior performance, reduced weight, and enhanced heat resistance. They are often found in high-end sports cars and racing applications.
      Maintenance of Bearing Brake Discs

      Regular maintenance of bearing brake discs is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of the braking system. Key maintenance practices include:
      Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as grooves, cracks, or uneven surfaces. This can prevent potential brake failure.
      Cleaning: Keep the brake discs clean from dust, dirt, and debris. Use appropriate cleaning solutions and tools to avoid damaging the surface.
      Lubrication: Ensure that the bearings are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Use the recommended type and amount of lubricant for optimal performance.
      Replacement: Replace the brake discs when they show significant signs of wear or when they reach the manufacturer's recommended lifespan. Timely replacement can prevent more severe damage to the braking system.
