Brembo Prime Ceramic
The copper-free ceramic half of the Prime line, with a grey backplate, a multi-layer anti-noise shim and Brembo's published claim of reduced disc and pad wear.

The verdict
Best for: Clean wheels and quiet braking on a car or light commercial vehicle, from an R-90 homologated OE equivalent.
The trade-off: Brembo publishes no operating window, so the heat ceiling shown here is this library's comfort-class default, not a measured figure.
Reading the numbers
Standout traits: quietness (10/10), low dust (10/10), pad life (8/10), rotor friendliness (10/10).
Weak spots: fade resistance (3/10).
Ratings here follow this library's rubric: every axis is set by something the maker publishes, or by the duty-class default named below. Character guidance, not lab data.
Where these numbers come from. Class defaults, because Brembo publishes no figure: operating window, bite, cold performance. Noise, dust and rotor friendliness follow the ceramic family this library already rates plus Brembo's published low-dust, anti-noise and disc-wear claims; pad life takes its published pad-wear claim.
