Can you use a rotor designed for with ceramic disk brake pads resin pad?

It is not recommended to use a rotor designed for ceramic disk brake pads with resin pads. Ceramic pads require a different type of rotor surface than resin pads, and using the wrong type of rotor can lead to reduced braking performance and premature wear of the pads and rotor.

Ceramic brake pads are typically used with rotors that have a smooth, polished surface. This type of surface helps to reduce heat build-up and prevents the pads from glazing over. Resin pads, on the other hand, require a rotor with a more textured surface. This texture helps to grip the pads and provide the necessary friction for braking.

Using a rotor designed for ceramic pads with resin pads can cause the pads to slip on the rotor, resulting in reduced braking performance. Additionally, the rougher surface of the rotor can cause the resin pads to wear out more quickly.

If you are unsure of which type of rotor to use with your brake pads, it is best to consult with a qualified mechanic or the manufacturer of your brake pads.
