Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Dodge Hornet braking system. The friction material your Hornet calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Dodge Hornet, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Dodge Hornet disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your Hornet, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Dodge Hornet. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your Hornet.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Dodge Hornet
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Dodge Hornet drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, Hornet ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Dodge Hornet at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the Hornet, and are significantly gentler on Dodge Hornet rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Dodge Hornet
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Dodge Hornet. They are the preferred choice for Hornet trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Dodge Hornet vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Dodge Hornet, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Dodge Hornet is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Dodge Hornet in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your Hornet, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Dodge Hornet, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every Hornet purchase.
How often should I replace my Dodge Hornet disc brake pads?
Most Dodge Hornet brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear Hornet pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Dodge Hornet pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Dodge Hornet at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Dodge Hornet handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the Hornet, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Dodge Hornet in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Dodge Hornet drivers. For Hornet drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Dodge Hornet vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
