Dynamic Friction 1551-0118-01 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads with Hardware - 5000

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are engineered to meet the precise braking demands of today's sophisticated vehicles, including those equipped with ABS and automated emergency braking systems. Unlike one-size-fits-all alternatives, these pads use OEM-matched friction formulations developed in collaboration with original equipment suppliers across four continents to deliver the correct friction performance for each specific axle and vehicle application.

Key Features:

• Axle-specific OEM formulations — individually calibrated for front and rear axles to maintain balanced, predictable braking performance
• Positive mold construction — promotes consistent friction material density for uniform wear and stopping power
• Rotor-friendly compound — designed for longer rotor and pad life compared to aggressive metallic compounds
• Chamfered and slotted design (where applicable) — reduces brake noise and helps expel heat and debris during braking
• Pre-scorched friction surface — removes uncured bonding agents to minimize break-in period and deliver strong stopping power from the very first stop
• DFC Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber (RSR) shims — included to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for a quiet, confident pedal feel
• Low copper / environmentally compliant — meets California and Washington state low-copper requirements for 2021 and 2025 restrictions
• Includes hardware kit — everything needed for a complete, proper installation

The DFC 5000 Advanced series is the ideal upgrade or direct replacement for drivers who require OEM-level braking precision with improved longevity and noise reduction. Whether for a daily commuter, sport compact, or light-duty truck, these semi-metallic pads are built to deliver consistent pedal feel and superb brake response mile after mile.
