brake pads

[sharaf93]

Hello everybody
Iam little confused about choosing the brake pads
Metallic , ceramic
What considerations should i care about when choosing brake pad for formula student
I need a link that compare between them with detailed values if possible

[M. Nader]

brake fade, operating temperature, coefficient of friction, wear amongst others.

Do some readings first and come back here with more detailed questions as no one will make the comparisons for you i am afraid

First, ask yourself why plain steel brake pads wouldn't work.

Next, ask yourself why wooden ones wouldn't either.

Finally, figure out what you'd want in a brake pad. What does it have to do? What does it have to survive?

Well, for many years our team used Wilwood purple pads just to throw that option on the table. They were bitchin' for our application.

However, it is very likely they won't work for you. Just like some teams run the polymatrix componds...which wouldn't work for us.

Define the parameters of your system and usually pads will fall into place.
