All DFC rotors and drums are based on OEM fit, form, and function. Our benchmark for design is OEM. This means that we have to capture all the dimensions of the design, including cooling veins to ensure proper performance for all usage conditions. Some of you are probably wondering…what does OEM mean? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This ultimately means that the parts we build are based on an organization’s specific OEM. DFC capture all the specific dimensions using a FaroArm CMM We catch all the specific dimensions of a design through the use of a FaroArm CMM (coordinate […]

So it’s time to change your brakes…what could possibly go wrong? We know you’re an expert and you know what you’re doing (wink wink), but there are a few common mistakes to avoid when replacing your brakes.

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 braking systems need to interact with one another harmoniously, each depending on very specific parameters designed into each part. Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) is the first to act upon these new demands by not only reviewing the original equipment brake systems by platform, but specific vehicles within the platform. It is often the case that with specific vehicle tuning, such as a change in wheel and […]
