DFC® - Police Front Disc Brake Pads

Looked endlessly for a more cost effective set of brake pads for my 2020 F Pace SVR as OEM options put me well past the $600 range with install with just the front pads being $450 dollars online. These pads came in at less than $100 dollars for both the front & rear before shipping and just past that after. With install I was all in $300 dollars. Was initially concerned about quality due to the low price point for both the front and rear. Having put roughly 2k miles on them since install I can say they are great quality with good initial bite and feel. Absolutely love these pads and I’ll be sure to order more when I need a replacement.

DFC are on the ball. These Outlander Sport front pads are Korea sourced. The friction looks thoroughly mixed and cured post molding. The rears for this vehicle are a different mix with graphite chunks but also impressive manufacturing.

Having tested OEM, Powerstop Track Day vs these DFC AP pads on a track, I can attest that they work as well or better than the others. Minimal fade (fade being typical of poor trail-braking technique), little rotor wear, and consistent braking distance all make this a very good performance brake pad. Are they true "racing" pads? No, but how good of a driver must you be to really notice the difference? Face it: Most of us aren't good enough track drivers to justify the expense of $200+ racing pads. FYI: I have 6 sets of these sitting on my shelf (since they last about one track weekend). And I wouldn't stock these if I hadn't found them to be excellent pads.
