Introducing the DFC Brake Calipers: Precision, Performance, and Hassle-Free Experience

Elevating Braking Performance to New Heights

At Dynamic Friction Company, we understand that the foundation of vehicle safety and performance lies in the details — especially when it comes to braking systems. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of our innovative DFC Brake Calipers, a breakthrough in precision engineering and reliable performance for an extensive range of vehicle applications.

Uncompromised Quality with Hassle-Free Program

We’re changing the game with our Hassle-Free Program, designed to make your upgrade or replacement as smooth as possible. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of core returns and unexpected core charges. With DFC Brake Calipers, we’re eliminating these steps entirely, allowing you to focus on what’s truly important — the journey ahead.

Tested to Perfection: High and Low Pressure

Our commitment to reliability is reflected in our rigorous testing protocols. Every DFC Caliper undergoes extensive high and low-pressure testing, ensuring that each component delivers long-lasting performance and reliability. This meticulous approach guarantees that our calipers withstand various driving conditions, providing consistent stopping power when you need it the most.

A Shield Against the Elements: 100% Zinc Coated

To further enhance durability, DFC Calipers come with a 100% Zinc Coating. This robust protection is more than just a surface treatment; it’s a shield against the harsh realities of the road. From resisting corrosion to enduring the heat of friction, our zinc-coated calipers maintain their integrity and aesthetic appeal, mile after mile.

The DFC Difference: Application-Specific Engineering

Our calipers are not one-size-fits-all. They are the result of application-specific engineering, ensuring that each caliper fits perfectly and functions seamlessly with your vehicle’s braking system. It’s this tailored approach that allows DFC to deliver on its promise of OEM-level quality, providing a superior alternative that’s both reliable and accessible.

Friction Friday: “Satisfying Clips”

DFC Presents: Satisfying Clips

You may have come across this at some point: “the hardware doesn’t fit.”

This common hardware issue can often lead to comebacks. Sometimes the hardware falls out of the caliper or, if the clips don’t fit properly, can also cause rattling in the braking system. You have customers waiting, so you definitely don’t want to waste more of your time filing or grinding the hardware to make it fit.

Click on the video above to see how DFC solves these common hardware issues for you, allowing you to get back to your customers and avoid comebacks.

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 the caliper.

Another common issue is the reverse, where shops order pads and there isn’t enough hardware in the box. This is typically for applications that have the opposed-piston calipers, as for example the Toyota Tundra and Toyota 4Runner. What you’ll get are the springs for the pins and the retraction springs, but you won’t get the crosspins.

These two scenarios will lead to comebacks.

So what does DFC do differently? First of all, we only supply what you ordered, no unnecessary parts. And as a bonus, you’re guaranteed to get the latest hardware technology–a Teflon coating on the backside of the hardware, which leads to noise reduction.

Dino Crescentini, Co-founder of DFC, sums it up nicely when he says you’ll get “only what you need, the very best of what you need, and everything you need. That’s what we do at DFC.”

CERRITOS, CA – California based, Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) announced that Tesla Model S (2012-2019) and Model X (2016-2019) brake components have been added to the DFC premium brake offering. The new part number additions have been made available in DFC’s premium rotor, friction, and hardware line.

DFC’s GeoSpec Coated brake rotor offering has been engineered to precise specifications in order to mimic the Tesla factory components. All DFC GeoSpec Coated brake rotors are specially coated to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust. Each rotor is prepared with a non-directional finish to promote a faster and more even brake pad bed-in, along with quieter and smoother stops.

The combination of DFC’s GeoSpec Coated brake rotors along with the 5000 Advanced application specific formulated brake pads and hardware kit, serves to ensure that braking characteristics maintain factory performance and feel. “We fully acknowledge that the technology behind the advanced braking systems of Tesla require advanced attention to detail in every aspect of its design and have gone the extra mile to ensure that our research and development teams strictly follow the original design,” says DFC Co-Founder, Dino Crescentini.

DFC Announces New 5000 EURO Ceramic Brake Pads – Low Dust & Noise for European Applications!

DFC 5000 EURO Ceramic Brake Pads

Southern California based brake supplier, Dynamic Friction Company announced its unveiling 5000 EURO Ceramic Friction. The 5000 EURO Ceramic 5000 Series is the latest addition to the premium friction offering by DFC. The 5000 EURO Ceramic Series is specifically designed to address the unique braking characteristics common in European vehicles.

DFC Co-founder Dino Crescentini state, “We have been very cognizant of the unique braking requirements for European vehicles and their owners. Much like our 5000 Advanced Series which is formulated to mimic O.E. braking characteristics we realized that European vehicles required more refinement due to various extrinsic factors. This time we went one step further…we took into account not only the safety factor in having the application correct coefficient required for optimum braking performance, we also took into account that typical O.E. formulations produce excessive dusting and tend to be noisier. The 5000 EURO Ceramic Series friction will perform exactly like the O.E. material except our new formulation dramatically reduces the unsightly dusting and noise typically associated with O.E. formulations. The DFC 5000 EURO Ceramic friction provides a superior substitute for the original formulation, which utilizes a low-metallic/ceramic combination and is more abrasive and more likely to leave heavy dust residue on the wheels. DFC will offer 300 SKUs with coverage for 2300 European applications.

Dynamic Friction Company Announces First Full-Line Caliper Program

DFC Blog

Southern California based brake parts supplier, Dynamic Friction Company, announced August 14, 2018 the unveiling of the first complete caliper program. The DFC caliper program boasts a full coverage for foreign and domestic passenger cars and light trucks with more than 2000 SKUs currently available. Every caliper is fully zinc coated silver and furnished with brackets where required.

DFC Dino Crescentini stated, “In keeping with our commitment to provide unrivaled product quality and value for our customers, we designed a caliper program that eliminates the burdensome task and associated costs of handling cores. We listened to our customers’ needs and concerns and used them to create the most viably comprehensive caliper program currently on the market. Not only did we take the sting out of the ever-present core costs, we provided a high quality, pretested, fully coated, and friction ready component. In those instances where the caliper came OE with a color other than silver, we provide the OE color coating. Standard replacement caliper and rotor replacement are simply that…standard. We’ve taken another first step by giving our customers the look and feel of a performance replacement coupled with affordability.”

As more vehicles come standard with custom open spoke wheels that expose unsightly rusty rotors and calipers, DFC’s coated program offers an affordable aesthetically pleasing solution without sacrificing quality.
