Dynamic Friction 1551-0153-01 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads Hardware - 5000 with Kit

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (Part# 1551-0153-01) are engineered to deliver precise, reliable stopping performance for modern vehicles. Formulated using OEM-matched friction compounds sourced from manufacturers across four continents, these pads are designed to meet the exact braking demands of each specific axle and vehicle platform — not just a generic one-size-fits-all solution.

The DFC 5000 Advanced formulation is built for today's sophisticated vehicles, including those equipped with ABS and automated emergency braking systems, where friction material selection is critical to maintaining the pre-programmed braking parameters set by the vehicle's computer.

Key Features:

• OEM-matched friction formulation — specifically developed for each axle on every vehicle to maintain balanced braking performance
• Semi-metallic compound — provides high thermal tolerance, strong bite, and consistent stopping power across a wide range of conditions
• Rotor-friendly design — proven to extend both rotor and pad service life
• Chamfered and slotted edges (where applicable) to reduce noise during braking
• Pre-scorched / post-cured pads — removes uncured bonding agents, minimizing break-in time and maximizing stopping power from the very first stop
• Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber (RSR) shims included — improve NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) characteristics for a quieter, smoother brake feel
• Hardware kit included — comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation
• Low copper formula — meets California and Washington environmental restrictions for 2021 and 2025
• Positive mold construction — promotes consistent friction material density for uniform performance pad-to-pad

The DFC 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic pads are an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking OEM-quality braking performance backed by advanced engineering. The included hardware kit ensures a clean, complete installation with all components needed out of the box.
