What is the difference between metallic and semi-metallic brake pads?

The difference between ceramic and semi-metallic brake pads is simple – it all comes down to the materials that are used to produce each brake pad. Semi-metallic brake pads can be noisier than ceramic brake pads and their price point normally falls between that of organic and ceramic brake pads.

Are semi metallic pads good?

Semi-metallic pads have good stopping power and are very efficient at dispersing heat. They can be noisy and do create more dust than ceramic brake pads. This type of pad is also made with friction materials that are harder than most others, so they may have more aggressive wear to your brake rotors.

Can you mix brake pads?

As above, do NOT mix left to right. Any difference in friction will have the brakes steering the car. Front to back is fine, it may effect the front/rear balance a little but abs will take care of that under heavy breaking, and you probably won’t notice under lighter breaking.
