Dynamic Friction 1551-0297-01 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads with Hardware - 5000

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (PN: 1551-0297-01) are engineered for drivers who demand the highest level of braking performance, safety, and reliability. Designed to meet the exacting requirements of modern vehicles equipped with ABS and automated braking systems, these pads deliver vehicle-specific friction performance to maintain balanced, confident stopping power.

Key Features:

• Vehicle-Specific Formulation: Friction material is specifically matched for each axle to maintain balanced braking, critical for vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems
• OEM-Grade Friction Technology: Sourced from OEM friction suppliers across 4 continents, ensuring factory-level performance and compliance
• Rotor-Friendly Design: Proven to extend both rotor and pad life, reducing long-term maintenance costs
• Chamfered & Slotted (where applicable): Reduces brake noise for a quieter, more comfortable driving experience
• Factory Scorched: Pads are scorched at the factory to remove uncured bonding agents, minimizing the need for a break-in period and delivering strong stopping power from the very first stop
• Premium RSR Shims Included: Assembled with DFC Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber (RSR) shims for superior NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) reduction
• Hardware Kit Included: Comes complete with installation hardware for a direct, hassle-free replacement
• Low Copper / Environmentally Compliant: Meets California and Washington state low copper requirements for 2021 and 2025 standards
• Consistent Pedal Feel: Engineered to deliver a firm, predictable pedal response and superb brake feedback

The DFC 5000 Advanced formulation uses a positive mold process to promote consistent friction material density across every pad, ensuring uniform performance and wear. Whether for a family sedan, sport compact, or light-duty truck, these semi-metallic brake pads are built to the same standards demanded by today's increasingly sophisticated vehicle platforms — including those trending toward autonomous braking technology.
