Friction Friday: “Too Many Clips”

Friction Friday: “Too Many Clips”

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 […]

DFC Presents: A Commitment to Research and Development

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 […]
