Expensive and unnecessary? 3 reasons why ceramic brakes waste more money than they bring joy!
Ceramic brakes rarely make your life easier, even if it is suggested so - we tell you why you shouldn't spend money on them!
When you configure a new car, there is a particularly expensive optional extra: ceramic brakes. Of course, the advantages cannot be denied, but there are also some disadvantages - even if you disregard the enormously high costs of this brake system. We think ceramic brakes are a waste of money and have three good reasons for this.
That's why ceramic brakes are a waste of money!
If you are a car enthusiast and are interested in sports cars, then the term ceramic brake is of course familiar to you. It costs a fortune - but you can use it much more, hopefully you never have to change it and it is also lighter than a conventional cast iron brake.
Actually perfect - but we still think that you should save the money. Maybe for a second car, because four ceramic brake discs can easily cost as much as a small car.
1. Delayed braking effect in wet conditions
In unseren Gefilden regnet es durchschnittlich an 130 Tagen im Jahr. Wenn du ein Auto mit Keramikbremsen hast, dann solltest du an diesen Tagen vorsichtig unterwegs sein. Häufig wird berichtet, dass die Bremsleistung bei Nässe sehr verzögert einsetzt – was natürlich schlecht ist, wenn du sofort zum stehen kommen musst.
Finding Cars with All-Wheel Drive
The so-called "dry braking" is typical for ceramic brakes, especially if you have freshly cleaned the rims or you are driving in the rain. Because there is then a film of water on the brakes, which means that nothing happens at all when you press the brake. If you have warmed up the brake, it works much better – only if you have already had an accident before, it is of no use to you.
2. Ceramic brakes and winter are not friends
Winter in Germany feels like it's getting longer and longer. Snow, ice and road salt are not exactly what a ceramic brake loves. Extremely high temperatures are generated during braking, so the temperature change to the ambient temperature is very stressful for the ceramic brake, especially in winter.
In addition, the road salt and constant moisture can corrode the fasteners of ceramic brake discs. If they stick to the brake disc, then cracks can appear in the brake disc - and then you can dispose of your expensive ceramic brake.
Everyday life does not take place on the race track
Of course, a ceramic brake has advantages – but these actually only refer to driving around the race track. On a normal road and in most people's everyday lives, a car with ceramic brakes doesn't make sense. They can withstand high temperatures and wear is very low. Of course, this is important in racing, but not on the way from the supermarket to kindergarten.
And even if you sometimes want to accelerate on the highway, your classic brakes are sufficient in any case.
