Your Dodge Charger brake pads are an important part of your vehicle’s braking system. You will find a pair of brake pads mounted at each of your wheels, flanking the one-piece metal discs known as your brake rotors. Charger brake pads feature a metal backing plate onto which a thick frictional lining is fastened, using either glue or rivets.

There are two different types of brake pads, and the type your vehicle uses will dictate the necessary maintenance steps you will need for your brakes. The least common types of Dodge Charger brake pads used are metallic brake pads.

The linings of metallic brake pads are made with friction modifying substances mixed with powdered metal, such as copper or bronze, and inorganic filler. These types of brake pads are usually found on high-performance vehicles that rely heavily on brakes, such as racecars, ambulances, and fire trucks, since metallic brake pads last longer and produce better braking power.

Most vehicles, however, have soft Charger brake pads installed. Soft brake pads, also referred to as organic or non-metallic, are made with high-temperature resins and organic fillers, and designed to wear out faster than metallic pads. This is not because brake pad manufacturers want you to spend more money, but because soft brake pads are nice to your brake rotors and do not cause excessive rotor wear.
