Brembo P 83 166N NAO Ceramic Brake Pad Set (Rear)

Yes, significantly cleaner. The biggest advantage of NAO (Non‑Asbestos Organic) Ceramic friction material is that it produces very little brake dust compared to traditional semi‑metallic pads. Furthermore, the small amount of dust it does produce is lighter in colour and non‑corrosive, meaning it won’t permanently bake into your alloy wheels.

NAO stands for “Non‑Asbestos Organic.” This advanced compound uses ceramic fibres instead of harsh steel fibres to create friction. Because there is no metal‑on‑metal scraping against the brake disc, these pads virtually eliminate annoying brake squeal and groaning noises, providing a premium, whisper‑quiet driving experience.

No, quite the opposite. Because ceramic brake pads are softer and less abrasive than standard low‑metallic or semi‑metallic pads, they are incredibly gentle on your brake discs (rotors). Upgrading to Brembo NAO Ceramic pads will generally extend the lifespan of your brake discs and result in much smoother braking.

No. Brembo NAO Ceramic pads are engineered specifically to provide the ultimate comfort, low noise, and clean wheels for premium daily driving. For heavy towing, carrying large loads, or aggressive track‑day use, we highly recommend traditional Low‑Metallic pads or the Brembo Xtra line, as they offer a higher thermal capacity and a more aggressive initial bite at extreme temperatures.
