DFC Presents: The Best Brake Pads for Hauling Heavy Trailers!

DFC Blog — **DFC** Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads

Dino Crescentini and Daniel Biezonsky get into the specific hidden features of the Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads. They explain the nuances in testing this product over a 5 year span before releasing it to the market. Getting the friction formulation right for the intended use case of the brake pads took considerable R&D. The result, strikes a perfect balance for towing heavy loads and trailers, but also performs on every day use.

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.

Friction Friday: DFC 5000 Pads – Always The Perfect OE Formulation

With the Dynamic Friction Company, you can have a brake pad that looks identical to any competitor–but is entirely different. The video shows two pads that look exactly alike, yet have hidden differences that make them superior in terms of performance. At DFC, we know that although they have the same shapes, their characteristics are completely different – greatly surpassing those of competitors’ products for cars like the BMW X3 SUV, Z4 coupe or turbocharged 330ci Coupe and other applications. Even with the same backing plate number, friction code number and shape, each pad is designed to best suit your vehicle.

Friction Friday: The Creation of the DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pad

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.

Friction Friday: Euro 5000 Ceramic Brake Pads

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.

Friction Friday: Specialty Brake Pad Lines For Trucks

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

Friction Friday: 60 to ZERO

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.

Friction Friday: Dino Tests DFC Brake Pads on a 1973 Alfa Romeo GTA

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.

Friction Friday: “Satisfying Clips”

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 (aka MOFO) to the Test

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!
