Question about brake pads

I have a 1997 accord ex (4 cyl). Do i need ceramic pads?

No. Unless your car originally came with them. Check your Owner's Manual,
or check with your dealer.

 

NOPE. CERAMIC PADS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE TOPOF THE LINE, TO RECUDE
SQUEAKING AND LONGER LIFETIME. THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU'LL NEED THEM IS
IF YOUR CAR CAME WITH THEM AND YOU STILL HAVE THE FACTORY ROTORS ON

 

My 97 came with ceramic pads, however I'm not sure all did that year.
I have to say, I'm very happy with them last about 75K miles with low
dusting, no warping or shuddering, no fade.

I could not find out from the manual whether mine came with ceramic pads or
not. My car has just 45k miles on it and this is the first time the front
brakes are being replaced and yes the car has the factory rotors on. So I am
a bit confused whether I need ceramic pads or the regular ones.

Your parts place or dealer should have a book that tells what the OEM
type pads it came with.
Either way go a good major brand of pads and get the top of the line in
that brand and type of pad.
No el cheapo stuff on them pads.
The life you save may be your own
Good luck
