Default Difference between Pro and ISD ceramic brakes

What are the differences between the two and how aggressive are they with regards to rotor wear?


Thx

No one has an opinion or experience with either pad?

Nope, sorry. I only recently upgraded -- I am currently running the Axxis Ultimate kevlar/ceramic high performance pads but other than the excessive dust there's not much to share.

Well, I went from stock to a stoptech front and rear 14" big brake upgrade, so the difference in feel is significant. But for day to day life, the brake dust is the biggest change. I now get a months worth of "stock level" dust in literally a few hours. But the dust should go down after the pads get more worn. I never measured actual stopping distance but for a single test I would expect both to be close. After several hard stops the stock brakes would be fading fast.

I probably won't be going to bigger brakes but the comments on fade could apply..I don't use my brakes that hard so I might just go with the ISD then.

I ordered the ISD ceramic pads last week for both axles. I'll have them installed either very soon so I'll give a report in the future.
