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.

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.
