I recall Ceramic needs to be heated up a bit, might suck in Winter!
Pros of Ceramic:
- In general, they last longer than semi-metallic
- They can take slightly more abuse
- They leave minimal brake dust, and the dust that is left is less noticeable-a nice complement to chrome and alloy wheels.
Cons of Ceramic:
- Ceramic brakes need to warm up a little before they attain the grip of semi-metallic pads.
- They're more expensive-sometimes considerably more. However, some brands sell competitively-priced ceramic pads.
Pros of Semi-Metallic:
- Better grip than ceramic when cold
- Often less expensive than ceramic
Cons of Semi-Metallic
- Shorter life
- Brake dust is much more apparent
