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.

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.

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 […]
