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 5000 EURO Ceramic Brake Pads

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.

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.
