Dynamic Friction 1551-0038-01 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set with Hardware - 5000

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (Part# 1551-0038-01) are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of today's sophisticated vehicle braking systems, including ABS and automated emergency braking. The DFC 5000 Advanced formulation is purpose-built for vehicles that require the highest level of friction performance and braking reliability.

Unlike generic replacement pads, DFC 5000 brake pads are specifically formulated for each axle of each vehicle — whether a family sedan, sport compact, or light-duty truck — ensuring balanced, predictable braking performance that works in harmony with factory-programmed ABS and stability control systems. Friction compounds are sourced from OEM suppliers across four continents, delivering the precise friction characteristics your vehicle was engineered to use.

Key Features:

• Semi-metallic compound formulated to OEM specifications for correct friction performance and safe stopping
• Axle-specific formulation maintains balanced braking performance critical for ABS and automated braking systems
• Rotor-friendly design for proven longer rotor and pad life
• Chamfered and slotted (where applicable) to reduce braking noise
• Scorched finish removes uncured bonding agents, minimizing break-in period and maximizing stopping power from the very first stop
• Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber (RSR) shims included for improved NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) characteristics
• Hardware kit included for a complete, ready-to-install brake service
• Low-copper formula compliant with California and Washington environmental restrictions for 2021/2025

The DFC 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic pads deliver a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response, making them an ideal direct replacement for vehicles that originally came equipped with semi-metallic brake pads. Includes all necessary hardware for a complete brake pad replacement.
