Dino Crescentini and Daniel Biezonsky get into the specifics of friction formulation that are not apparent to the naked eye. Competitors view brake pads as being the same, they’ll see one shape and offer one formulation across a wide variety of vehicles. At DFC we do things a lot differently!
We aim to get the brake system with a DFC product feeling like it did when you drove it off the showroom floor. We make sure the friction formulation is very specific to the use case of the vehicle its intended for. That is the only way to restore the braking system to its optimum form.
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.
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.
Stop by our booth and talk with us. Dino Crescentini and Daniel Biezonsky are looking forward to meeting with all of you. Check out our video of all the amazing content we’ve shared so far in 2022, and look out for all the new exciting plans we have for 2023!

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.
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.

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!
