The only problem is they produce quite a considerable amount of dust when in use

They also produce some level of noise.

These brake pads contain organic compounds and a small percentage of metallic elements.

Organic brake pads are very soft hence not suitable for heavy-duty driving.

Because of their softness, organic brake pads tend to wear faster.

3. Low-Metallic Brake Pads
The composition of this brake pads is almost similar to the semi-metallic.

The only difference is they have a smaller percentage of metals than the one in semi-metallic.

They are not as tough as the semi-metallic brake pads.

This means they produce dust and wear out faster.

4. Ceramic brake pads
These are the most expensive type of brake pads that you will buy.
