Dynamic Friction 1551-1449-02 DFC Advanced Low Metallic Brake Pads with Hardware - 5000

The Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) 5000 Advanced Low Metallic Brake Pads (PN: 1551-1449-02) are precision-engineered disc brake pads designed to meet the exacting demands of today's advanced braking systems, including ABS and automated emergency braking. Using OEM-matched friction formulations sourced from manufacturers across four continents, these pads deliver the correct friction coefficient for each specific vehicle axle — not a one-size-fits-all compound.

Key Features:

• OEM-Matched Low Metallic Compound: Specifically formulated to replicate original equipment friction performance for balanced, predictable stopping power
• Axle-Specific Formulation: Engineered per axle on every vehicle — from family sedans and sport compacts to light-duty trucks — to maintain proper braking balance critical for ABS and automated braking systems
• Rotor-Friendly Design: Proven to extend both rotor and pad service life compared to harder metallic compounds
• Pre-Scorched Finish: Pads are scorched at the factory to remove uncured bonding agents, minimizing the break-in period and delivering strong stopping power from the very first stop
• Premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber (RSR) Shims: Included shims reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for a quieter, more comfortable driving experience
• Chamfered and Slotted Edges: Where applicable, chamfering and slotting further reduce brake noise during normal operation
• Low Copper / Environmentally Compliant: Meets California and Washington low copper requirements for 2021 and 2025 compliance standards
• Includes Hardware Kit: Comes with necessary installation hardware for a complete, ready-to-install brake pad set

The DFC 5000 Advanced series represents Dynamic Friction Company's commitment to vehicle-specific friction engineering. By researching OEM brake system parameters — including rotor dimensions, caliper output, vehicle weight, tire selection, and suspension tuning — DFC ensures these pads integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's braking system for consistent pedal feel and maximum safety.
