The verdict
Best for: Replacing worn OE pads on a car that left the factory with low-metallic friction.
The trade-off: Low-metallic friction dusts and talks more than any ceramic, and Brembo publishes no temperature range for it.
Reading the numbers
A deliberately balanced compound with no single extreme trait.
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, pad life, rotor friendliness. Noise and dust follow the low-metallic family this library already rates, plus Brembo's published shim and low-dust claims.
