- Premium-type brake pads, the fusion of reasonable pricing and brake performance
-
- Performance brake pads for the price similar to OEM brake pads
- Improved brake performance, decrease in brake dust.
- The same long pad life as the OEM brake pads
- Even higher brake performance by changing to DIXCEL brake discs at the same time as your brake pads!
Friction Materials Ceramic fiber Effective Temperature Range 0~450°C Applicable Stages Fast road The Premium-type brake pads are for street-use only. The pads are NOT designed for circuit-use.
DIXCEL is NOT responsible for any damage that may occur from using the Premium-type brake pads on a race circuit.
Upgrades were applied to limited part #'s, to decrease both brake noise and brake dust. (Upgraded material name: Premium Plus) Material upgrades were made to specific to MAKE/MODEL for the best brake performance
- The above chart represents evaluation values of our product in 100 phases in comparison with genuine pads of the test model. Values of genuine pads show 50.
- The above chart represents evaluation values calculated from tests in circuits, fast roads and winding roads Values of Durability and Disc life may differ by continuous use under low temperature (generally less than 150 degrees Celsius) which is common temperature range of public road use. Values of Anti-Noise and Anti-Dust are calculated after fade tests. (Not under brand-new condition)
