DFC Presents: Too Many Clips
Stop us if you’ve run into this: you order a set of pads and you have to sift through various types of hardware that are included in the box. Sometimes, the application isn’t even for the specific vehicle you’re servicing.
Shops already have multiple hats and headaches, with cars on the racks, customers waiting, and the phone ringing off the hook. The last thing they need is to spend time identifying the correct hardware. This is further complicated because hardware looks very similar, so there’s risk of using the wrong one and forcing it into the caliper.
Another common issue is the reverse, where shops order pads and there isn’t enough hardware in the box. This is typically for applications that have the opposed-piston calipers, as for example the Toyota Tundra and Toyota 4Runner. What you’ll get are the springs for the pins and the retraction springs, but you won’t get the crosspins.
These two scenarios will lead to comebacks.
So what does DFC do differently? First of all, we only supply what you ordered, no unnecessary parts. And as a bonus, you’re guaranteed to get the latest hardware technology–a Teflon coating on the backside of the hardware, which leads to noise reduction.
Dino Crescentini, Co-founder of DFC, sums it up nicely when he says you’ll get “only what you need, the very best of what you need, and everything you need. That’s what we do at DFC.”
