Dynamic Friction 1551-0297-02 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads Hardware - 5000 with Kit

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (PN: 1551-0297-02) are engineered to meet the precise braking demands of modern vehicles equipped with ABS and automated braking systems. This set includes a brake hardware kit for a complete, ready-to-install solution.

DFC's 5000 Advanced formulation is built on a platform-specific approach — each pad compound is carefully selected to match the exact friction requirements of a specific vehicle's axle, ensuring balanced, predictable braking performance rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Key Features:

• OEM-Matched Friction Formulation: Sourced from original equipment manufacturers across 4 continents to replicate factory braking characteristics
• Positive Mold Construction: Promotes consistent friction material density for uniform pad performance and wear
• Axle-Specific Compound: Specifically formulated for each axle position to maintain balanced braking — critical for vehicles with ABS and automated emergency braking
• Rotor-Friendly Design: Proven to extend both rotor and pad service life compared to harder metallic compounds
• Consistent Pedal Feel: Engineered to deliver a firm, predictable pedal response and superb brake modulation
• Chamfered and Slotted (where applicable): Reduces noise during braking for a quiet, confident stop
• Pre-Scorched: Factory scorching removes uncured bonding agents, minimizing the break-in period and maximizing stopping power from the very first stop
• Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber Shims: Included shims reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) for a quieter ride
• Hardware Kit Included: Comes complete with all necessary installation hardware
• Low Copper Formula: Compliant with California and Washington low-copper brake pad restrictions for 2021/2025

The DFC 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic brake pads are ideal for drivers who demand OEM-quality braking performance with enhanced noise reduction and longer service life. Whether used on a family sedan, sport compact, or light-duty truck, these pads deliver the correct friction coefficient to keep your braking system performing as the manufacturer intended.
