AAPEX 2022 Booth #A3479
Stop by our booth and talk with us. Dino Crescentini and Daniel Biezonsky are looking forward to meeting with all of you. Check out our video of all the amazing content we’ve shared so far in 2022, and look out for all the new exciting plans we have for 2023!
Did you miss our Friction Friday Videos? We got you covered, here’s a playlist below!
This product offering is the culmination of 5 years of development, testing and perfecting the friction formulation for trucks towing heavy loads. Designed for the Ultimate Trucks and SUVs with larger wheels or tires, and modified suspension. DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads deliver exceptional braking performance in any condition. These pads are exclusively engineered and formulated to withstand extreme heat, heavy duty operation, frequent stopping, off-roading, or towing. In addition, these brake pads also have very good rotor wear.
DFC’s 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are a direct OEM replacement for many European applications, but we noticed an opportunity to improve upon the OEM design. The issue with European applications is that the OEM brake pads tend to leave the wheels incredibly dusty. However, DFC’s innovative design helps to reduce the amount of brake dust that is produced, keeping your wheels looking clean and new. That’s why we created the DFC Euro 5000 Ceramic Brake Pads, your go to option for European applications.
Today, vehicles are increasingly more sophisticated. These vehicles demand the absolute highest quality and performance from their individual components, driven by the move towards autonomous mobility. With this change, the individual components in all the systems need to interact with one another, each depending on very specific parameters designed into each part. The DFC 5000 Advanced brake pads are a direct OEM replacement that ensures that brake pedal feel when you drove the vehicle off the lot!
Designed for heavier vehicles with larger brake systems, DFC Heavy‐Duty Brake Pads deliver exceptional braking performance in harsh conditions. DFC Heavy‐Duty brake pads are exclusively engineered and formulated to withstand extreme heat, heavy duty operation, frequent stopping, or towing. They are the ideal choice and solution for work trucks or fleet vehicles.
DFC ULTIMATE DUTY PERFORMANCE
Be ready for anything and anywhere. Designed for the Ultimate Trucks and SUVs with larger wheels or tires, and modified suspension. DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads deliver exceptional braking performance in any condition. These pads are exclusively engineered and formulated to withstand extreme heat, heavy duty operation, frequent stopping, off-roading, or towing.
DFC ULTIMATE DUTY PERFORMANCE
We put the DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Pads up against the OEM Pads in 10 panic stops from 60 to zero. We were looking for a couple important indicators: stopping distance and brake fade. As you can see from the video, the Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads out performed OEM in both stopping distance and brake fade resistance.

Dino Crescentini puts our DFC 5000 Advanced brake pads to the test on this ultra rare Alfa Romeo.
In 1973 the Alfa Romeo GTA was a break through performance vehicle for its time, and came with high performance brake pads. What’s unique to DFC, is that we take the same high quality performance formulations of the OEM and are able to provide the same performance to the braking system as you’d experience in the summer of 1973 driving down the Italian Riviera!
DFC has applied it’s years of experience in the OE and Aftermarket industry to develop a line of brake pads that meet or exceed the expectations of even the most demanding drivers. From our entry level formulations, to our top end track ready compounds, we have a brake pad for every application.
When it comes to safety and performance, there is no substitute for quality. That’s why at DFC, we only use the highest quality materials and processes in our brake pads.
DFC Presents: Satisfying Clips
You may have come across this at some point: “the hardware doesn’t fit.”
This common hardware issue can often lead to comebacks. Sometimes the hardware falls out of the caliper or, if the clips don’t fit properly, can also cause rattling in the braking system. You have customers waiting, so you definitely don’t want to waste more of your time filing or grinding the hardware to make it fit.
Click on the video above to see how DFC solves these common hardware issues for you, allowing you to get back to your customers and avoid comebacks.
DFC Presents: Dino Puts the Ultimate Duty Performance Pads to the Test
Those with lifted trucks, trucks with large tires (35’s or 38’s), or off-road vehicles will understand: you sometimes lose performance and sensitivity because there is added pressure on the braking system.
DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads solve this challenge in a number of ways:
• They provide high performance braking at low speeds (like when you’re rock crawling)
• They have a high coefficient of friction from dead cold, all the way to the highest of temperatures
• They provide better brake balance and feel
These are only a few of the reasons that make the Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads a baaaaaad MOFO (Maximum Operating Friction for Off-Roading). Click the video above to see how these Pads perform on a Jeep Gladiator!
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.”
Product Research and Development is one of the cornerstones of DFC.
However, it’s not as simple as getting parts, cataloging them and selling them. Instead, we reverse engineer every single new OE product from all OE manufacturers and collect key data points. For example, does this part differ from last year’s part? How?
There is added complexity when you consider that each OE manufacturer has a different discipline (friction, hardware, rotors, etc.)
One example is friction. At any point we may source friction parts from Germany, Thailand, India or China. Each of these manufacturers has a different focus: one may be great at higher performance materials, while another may be great at copper-free ceramics or semi-metallics. Our job is to identify these innovations and match (or exceed) the OE specifications so that when you’re using a DFC part, you know you have a premium product.
