Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your International 3300 braking system. The friction material your 3300 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your International 3300, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A International 3300 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your 3300, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your International 3300. 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 3300.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the International 3300
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most International 3300 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, 3300 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your International 3300 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the 3300, and are significantly gentler on International 3300 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the International 3300
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the International 3300. They are the preferred choice for 3300 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance International 3300 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your International 3300, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the International 3300 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the International 3300 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your 3300, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the International 3300, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every 3300 purchase.
How often should I replace my International 3300 disc brake pads?
Most International 3300 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 3300 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect International 3300 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my International 3300 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the International 3300 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the 3300, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my International 3300 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most International 3300 drivers. For 3300 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance International 3300 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
