Dynamic Friction 1551-0491-01 DFC Advanced Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads with Hardware - 5000

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (Part #1551-0491-01) are engineered to meet the precise braking demands of today's modern vehicles, including those equipped with ABS and advanced automated braking systems. Each set is included with a matching hardware kit for a complete, ready-to-install solution.

DFC developed the 5000 Advanced formulation by partnering with OEM friction material suppliers across four continents, ensuring each pad is specifically formulated for the correct axle position of each vehicle — whether it's a family sedan, sport compact, or light-duty truck. This axle-specific approach maintains proper braking balance and delivers the consistent pedal feel that today's sophisticated vehicle systems depend on.

Key Features:

• OEM-matched semi-metallic compound formulated for correct friction performance and maximum safety
• Positive mold construction promotes consistent friction material density across the pad surface
• Axle-specific formulation maintains balanced braking, critical for ABS and automated braking systems
• Rotor-friendly design with proven longer rotor and pad life
• Chamfered and slotted (where applicable) to minimize noise during braking
• Factory scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, reducing the need for break-in and maximizing stopping power from the first stop
• Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims included for reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
• Hardware kit included for a complete installation
• Low copper formula compliant with California and Washington state environmental regulations for 2021 and 2025

The DFC 5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic pads are the ideal upgrade for drivers who want factory-quality braking performance backed by rigorous OEM-level engineering and modern environmental standards.
