Do different cars need different brake pads?
No, almost every vehicle model has a different shape of brake pad. The friction materials that are on the pad are different because almost every vehicle has different requirements and performance capabilities. 2. Brake pads require a great deal of testing and engineering because they are made for a specific vehicle.
Can front and rear brake pads be different brands?
It is true but the compounds need to be pretty different or you won’t notice much. Having redstuff pads on the front and yellowstuff pads on the back for example. If the compound is similar then there is nothing to worry about, for example two different “street” pads would be fine.
Do front and rear brakes need to match?
Well, first, you absolutely should replace both front or both rear brake pads at the same time. Unless something’s really wrong, one should be wearing out at about the same rate as the other.

How does friction based braking work in a car?
As the car slows down, all the energy being used to go forward dissipates into the brake pads as heat — contributing to brake pad wear — in friction-based braking systems. These traditional systems create stopping friction using brake rotors and brake pads, which connect when the pedal is depressed, as well as between the wheels and the road.
How does regenerative braking work in a car?
Regenerative braking captures the energy typically lost as heat when a driver brakes. As the car slows down, all the energy being used to go forward dissipates into the brake pads as heat — contributing to brake pad wear — in friction-based braking systems.
When do front brake pads and rotors wear out?
Front brake pads and rotors tend to wear faster than rear brakes. Twice as fast in some cases. That’s pretty dated information. Used to be true for almost all cars and trucks, but I see many designs from the last 10-15 years (typical family sedans) where the rear brakes are worn out at 50K miles and the fronts last until 80K.
