Episode 1: Research & Development Process with Jesus Villalobos
In our premiere episode, Jesus Villalobos, DFC’s Research and Development Manager, takes you inside the data-driven process behind our brake product development.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
We research every vehicle. In 2024 alone, our R&D team studied over 40 makes, 650 models, and 4,000 submodels, covering a wide range of applications to ensure our brake parts meet the latest OE specs.
We invest where it counts. This year, DFC spent over $150,000 acquiring OEM samples to reverse-engineer new applications. This investment helps us build the most accurate, OE-quality replacements on the market.
We’re first to market so you can be first to install. By doing the research upfront, DFC ensures you have access to the most up-to-date aftermarket brake solutions available, right when new models hit the road.
DFC is also committed to offering high-quality brake pads as part of our comprehensive product lineup, supporting both vehicle safety and performance.
“If you want to ensure you’re getting the most updated aftermarket brakes… then DFC is your brand.” — Jesus Villalobos, R&D Manager
