Organic vs. Inorganic?

I hardly ever have to clean my wheels and when I do, the dust just rinses off....
Not that expensive -- I paid $38.80 for the set for my '95 E300, including new wear sensors -- but you did indeed get a good price on the PBR Organics (but are they truly organic? Inquiring minds / organic farmers everywhere / want to know!)

Yes, well 'organic' as I am told refers to a non-asbestos friction material that has no ferrous metal in it. Semi-Metallics and Ceramics wear rotors quickly, no ferrous pads do not.

I brake aggressively and they are great pads....
