Front brake pads are an essential safety component for your vehicle. Even the technical gurus at Summit Racing Equipment admit it: going fast is a blast. But when the time comes to slow down, your engine isn’t the hero anymore. Your braking system needs to be in tip-top shape to get you to a stop safely, and your front brake pads play a huge role. When you stomp on the brakes, a huge amount of weight is transferred to the front wheels. To counter this, your front brakes are typically larger than the rears.

Front brake pads are an essential safety component for your vehicle. Even the technical gurus at Summit Racing Equipment admit it: going fast is a blast. But when the time comes to slow down, your engine isn’t the hero anymore. Your braking system needs to be in tip-top shape to get you to a stop safely, and your front brake pads play a huge role. When you stomp on the brakes, a huge amount of weight is transferred to the front wheels. To counter this, your front brakes are typically larger than the rears. It’s safe to assume your front brakes do 70% or more of the job to stop your vehicle, and therefore will require more frequent inspection and replacement.
When choosing front brake pads, keep in mind what you’re using your vehicle for. While daily drivers may not need the latest, most advanced technology, heavier vehicles or vehicles that do a lot of towing and hauling will benefit from higher temperature resistance and improved bite under load. Sport-focused vehicles frequently make use of aggressive friction compounds, and race vehicles can reduce lap times with hard-biting, fast-cooling pads.
Organic pad compounds are an economical choice for your basic, daily driven vehicle, providing strong, predictable braking, even when cold and damp. Ceramic pads are a fantastic option as well, as they tend to be quieter, less dusty, and have more stable braking characteristics. Semi-metallic and metallic pads are excellent performance-oriented options, able to dissipate heat while still providing extreme braking performance under demanding loads. In some cases, you can even mix and match front and rear pad types to fine-tune your vehicle’s braking characteristics.
