Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Polestar Polestar 2 braking system. The friction material your Polestar 2 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Polestar Polestar 2, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Polestar Polestar 2 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your Polestar 2, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Polestar Polestar 2. 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 Polestar 2.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Polestar Polestar 2
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Polestar Polestar 2 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, Polestar 2 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Polestar Polestar 2 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the Polestar 2, and are significantly gentler on Polestar Polestar 2 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Polestar Polestar 2
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Polestar Polestar 2. They are the preferred choice for Polestar 2 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Polestar Polestar 2 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Polestar Polestar 2, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Polestar Polestar 2 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Polestar Polestar 2 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your Polestar 2, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Polestar Polestar 2, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every Polestar 2 purchase.
How often should I replace my Polestar Polestar 2 disc brake pads?
Most Polestar Polestar 2 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 Polestar 2 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Polestar Polestar 2 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Polestar Polestar 2 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Polestar Polestar 2 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the Polestar 2, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Polestar Polestar 2 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Polestar Polestar 2 drivers. For Polestar 2 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Polestar Polestar 2 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
