5000 Advanced Semi-Metallic Rear Disc Brake Pads (1551-0717-00) by Dynamic Friction Company®. DFC 5000 Advanced Formulation is made for vehicles that demand the absolute highest quality and performance from their individual components, driven by the move towards autonomous mobility. Today, vehicles are increasingly more sophisticated. With this change, the individual components in all the systems need to interact with one another, each depending on very specific parameters designed into each part.
Chamfered and Slotted (where applicable) to reduce noise when braking
Scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, minimizing the need for initial break-in period and increasing stopping power from the initial stop
Positive mold to promote consistent friction material density
Specifically formulated for each axle on every vehicle (family sedan, sport compact, or light duty truck) to maintain balanced braking, critical for vehicles with ABS and automated braking
Carefully selected Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) formulations across 4 different continents
Provides correct friction performance, resulting in the safest possible braking
Rotor-friendly with proven longer rotor and pad life
Designed to deliver a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response
100% Asbestos Free Formulation
Only 20 years ago, ABS was finally making inroads into most mainstream vehicles. This has been an important development into increasing the safety capability. Along with this development, friction material selection became ever more important due to pre-set vehicle computer systems managing the braking performance of the car using the given parameters of vehicle weight, brake rotor dimensions, caliper force output, tire selection, suspension setting, among several others. The only way to fine-tune the overall braking balance is with, you guessed it, the friction material. Now, more and more automakers have been installing automated braking systems, a move toward the autonomous vehicle. These systems sense impending collisions and actually take control from the driver and stop the vehicle by itself. The performance demands on braking components have now gone up exponentially. Even in the best circumstances with ABS brakes, a human takes about 2.0 seconds to react to a braking event. Automated braking systems can react in as little as 0.3 seconds! Working in concert with the sensing systems, the braking system is expected to come to a complete stop within a preset distance.
