Asbestos brakes were used for years because of their extremely high friction
coefficient, but advances in science has shown that it is a cancer causing substance.
Performance pads often include small pieces of metal in the pads to aid in the pads
stopping power. The metal needs to be softer than the rotor, to ensure that the rotor
is not damaged over long periods of use.
The friction coefficients in the table are representative of dry conditions. If the rotor
and pad are moist, the systems stopping power is greatly reduced until the moisture
can be burned off.
