Can anyone point to semi-metallic pads online? All I can find are ceramics.

Thanks.

[quote=”Fopeano” post=144479]The reason I tell people to go with semi-metallic is that it’s abrasive against the brake rotor. This is desirable because under certain conditions, deposits can be left on the rotor. Such deposits can create a pulsation (undesirable), and abrasive brake pads keep rotors “sanded” clean. Soft pads (especially organic) will smear such deposits around instead of scrubbing them off. I don’t tolerate brake pulsations and have had the best luck with metallic pads for many years now.[/quote]

So where can one find good quality aftermarket semi-metallic pads for Accord? Everywhere you look, all you see is ceramic. Even in the Centric web-site – they clearly have semi-metallic pads but they won’t show up in their online catalog, only ceramic. Same with Amazon…I just can’t find good quality semi-metallic pads.

Thanks.

I wish I knew what the original pads were, it is a 2005 Accord with 98K miles on it and we’ve already done a couple of brake jobs on it (not through the dealer).
