Do ceramic brakes squeal when cold?
Do ceramic brakes squeal when cold?
The reality is that cold brakes in any car can squeal at low speeds. The pads and the rotors won’t reach operating temperature without repeated stops from moderate cruising speeds—or if they’re carbon-ceramic brakes, without hard pedal applications at much higher speeds.
What is a better brake pad ceramic or semi metallic?
Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.

Are ATE brake pads any good?
I used ATE front pads on my 135i for over 20,000 miles and they were excellent, never faded and quieter than the Textar pads (OE apparently) that replaced them. The ATE discs I had fitted to the front were identical to the OE discs that they replaced.

How many boxes of brake pads do I need?
You only need to buy 1 brake pad set. It will include the pads for both front wheels. The hardware isn’t required unless the existing hardware on your car is completely messed up otherwise I wouldn’t spend the money. Out of all the brake jobs I’ve done I’ve never replaced that hardware.
How much does it cost to change brake pads?
The average brake pad replacement cost is $150 per axle, and can range from $100 per axle up to $300 per axle. There are a few other pieces of hardware that are found in the brake system which might need to be serviced as well, including calipers and rotors, but the most common service will be to replace brake pads.
