Hey guys, I am doing a brake job on my sons 75. He wants to put pads on that will be quiet. I know they make ceramic pads that are supposed to be quiet, but my local auto parts stores tell me that they do not show a ceramic pad to fit this car. Does anyone know if they are available? Or any other suggested types of pads that would quiet?

Thanks !!!

Ceramic,..good call. I run them on all my cars.

Hawk is now selling ceramics for C3's. They're great! Stops the car and won't dust-crud the wheels.

For quiet stopping I put on a set of organic pads .....no more squeak/squeal.

You want to put brake pads on that will be quiet? ...

How about... brake pads that will stop that car!!! Hawk pads with a stock brake system work great. Buy him a set of hawks and some ear plugs, you'll spend less on insurance premiums.

 

I tried the ceramics a couple years ago. Made more noise than the organics. Switched back to organics. Little more dust but not noisy at all.
