Shop Ceramic Brake Parts

When shopping for brake pads for your vehicle, ceramic brake pads are quieter than semi-metallic or organic types. Ceramic brakes create light-colored dust that may adhere to the wheels. In addition, they have certain compounds in the friction substance, which semi-metallic and organic pads lack.

Ceramic Brake Pads & Rotors for Sale 

When you buy our ceramic brakes & rotors you will be pleased with how much longer they last than semi-metallic pads. These brake rotors have less noise and stand up to wear-and-tear.

New Provisions Racing has ceramic brake pads that are 100% free of asbestos. These ceramic brakes increase how effectively they operate upon initial usage and provide more stable levels of friction straight from the box. 

Why Choose Ceramic Brake Pads?

In comparing ceramic brake pads to other brake pads, you will prefer ceramic ones. These brake pads do not wear like organic brake pads because of less dust production and other materials. As far as driving conditions and temperature, these ceramic brakes are much more dependable than organic brands.

Ceramic brake rotors are of higher quality than standard carbon-carbon discs. These brake rotors are especially good for road vehicles due to the ceramic case that permits friction to be generated when driving in daily climates. Additionally, ceramic brake pads cost less to make in comparison to the carbon-carbon kind, due to a decreased processing time.

So, for those wanting the very best in durability and performance, here are the reasons why our ceramic brakes perform better than conventional brakes.

Improved Braking Power and Distance

When it comes to long-lasting brakes with a high coefficient of friction that provides superior braking distance and braking power, ceramic brakes are hard to beat. Valued for their reliability, longevity, and improved handling, ceramic brakes greatly surpass the typical cast iron brakes on today’s vehicles.

Less Vibration and Noise

The ceramic brakes provided by New Provisions Racing will dramatically reduce vibration and noise. Ceramic brakes can withstand high temperatures, allowing them to last longer and provide greater breaking results. They are also better for your entire braking system, requiring far less fluid and fluid pressure to brake.

In addition to increasing braking power and distance, ceramic material is better for your vehicle’s undercarriage.

Top Ceramic Brake Brands for Performance Cars

In addition to EBC brakes and Brembo brakes, New Provisions Racing also carries such well-known brands as PowerStop brakes, Hawk Performance ceramic brakes, Centric Premium, and StopTech brakes.

Each of our ceramic brake brands will last longer than conventional cast iron or multi-metal composite brakes.

Our extensive lineup of top-performing ceramic brakes is 100% asbestos-free and capable of withstanding immense wear and tear.

When to Replace Your Ceramic Brake Pads

When it comes to replacing your ceramic brakes and brake pads, it ultimately comes down to the type of driving you do. While most ceramic brake brand names provide insight into their general operating conditions and longevity, you should expect to be able to use your ceramic brakes anywhere between 40,000 and 80,000 miles.

Ultimately, the best indication that you need to replace your ceramic brakes includes any screeching or metal grinding sounds when you apply the brakes. Visually inspecting your ceramic brakes is another solution. If you see the ceramic brake pad has worn or your vehicle is equipped with a dashboard warning light or brake replacement light, it’s time to replace your ceramic brakes.

How To Install Ceramic Brake Pads

The first all-important step when installing ceramic brake pads is to ensure your vehicle is on a level surface. Next, ensure the surface is dry, and your vehicle doesn’t risk sliding or moving. Wheel chocks are an ideal solution for keeping your vehicle stationary and are a much-needed safety step.

Once your vehicle is level, you must remove the existing braking fluid. Open the hood of your car and ensure you have something to catch the brake fluid as it's released. Once you’ve gathered all the braking fluid, you’ll want to hoist your car using a carjack. However, make sure to loosen your wheels' nuts before hoisting your vehicle, as it will become much easier to remove the wheel.

Finally, remove all your old brakes' hardware, rotors, and pads. Before installing your new ceramic brakes, inspect and clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Look for any obvious signs of corrosion in and around the mounting surface. If corrosion is present, it will need to be removed with a bristle pad or wire brush.

How to Choose the Right Centric Brake Parts for Your Vehicle

At New Provisions Racing, we’ve become the go-to solution for Subaru WRX owners wanting the very best in aftermarket accessories, parts, upgrades, and brakes. Whether it’s our over 15 different WRX downpipes, our 22 different types of WRX brake pads, our 15 different WRX Catbacks, and 15 WRX intercoolers, our comprehensive lineup of suspension parts and engine dress-up accessories, we are entirely committed to becoming the location for Subaru WRX owners.

One brand of ceramic brake that continues to be a fan-favorite for our Subaru WRX customers is our comprehensive lineup of Centric brake parts, rotors, and pads. Choosing the right centric brakes for your Subaru WRX ultimately comes down to the following criteria.

First, understand your driving habits. If you are an off-road enthusiast who loves to get your Subaru dirty, then that will play a critical role in the type of centric brake parts, rotors, and pads you choose. The team at New Provisions Racing is more than capable of making suggestions.

Second, all our Centric brake pads, rotors, and parts are aligned or correspond to a specific year and trim of Subaru WRX. Whether it’s matching up the year and trim or referring to our cross-referenced part number and the OEM (original equipment manufacturer’s) part number, we ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Finally, if you’re completely uncertain about what type of Centric brakes to choose, our team is more than able to assist you in your search.

How Often Should You Replace Centric Brake Pads and Rotors?

One common question at New Provisions Racing is when Centric brake pads, rotors, and other parts should be replaced. While this often depends upon how often you drive, the types of road surfaces you drive on, and other driving habits, in general, most ceramic brakes should last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Of course, driving in the city involves much more stop-and-go braking than driving on a highway, but your Centric brakes should generally last up to 70,000 miles.

While the frequency may change relative to how often you should replace your Centric brake pads, the warning signs that a change is needed are the same. Loud screeching sounds are one common sign. Another is a metal-grinding sound. Often, you’ll be able to see the wear on the brake pad itself or notice that your brakes aren’t as responsive when braking. Finally, if you find you’re pushing down further on your brake pedal and that your braking distance is getting longer, then a change is most likely needed.

It Is Important To Use the Right Brake Fluid With Centric Parts

When buying our Centric brake parts and pads, using the correct braking fluid is essential. A common misconception is that any brake fluid can be used or that mixing braking fluid is acceptable. Both should be avoided at all times. Each vehicle’s braking system operates best with a specific chemical composition. That fluid should never be mixed with another type of braking system fluid.

The best course of action is always to use the manufacturer’s suggested braking fluid. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has specified four types of braking fluid: DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5, and DOT 5.1. The manufacturer typically calls out these reference numbers.

At New Provisions Racing, we are always willing to help our customers select the correct brake fluid for their Centric brake pads and vehicles. Our Centric brake pad kits include matched braking fluid reference numbers to ensure you use the right braking fluid for your Subaru WRX.
