• Precision engineered to match OE fitment and mounting points
• Durable construction to withstand aggressive driving conditions
• Optimized for rear axle braking balance and stability

Construction & Design

DFC utilizes a proprietary low metallic compound that balances friction, wear resistance, and thermal stability. The formulation includes carefully selected metallic fibers and organic materials to provide strong initial bite while minimizing rotor scoring and pad glazing. The backing plates are manufactured from high-strength steel with anti-corrosion coatings to ensure long-lasting durability and secure pad retention. Each pad is precision-machined to exact specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit and consistent contact with the brake rotor for reliable stopping power.

Installation & Fitment

These rear performance pads are designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear brake pads on the specified Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S models. Installation requires no modifications and can be completed using standard brake service tools. It is recommended to inspect rotors and hardware during installation and replace or resurface rotors if necessary to maximize braking performance and pad life. Proper bedding-in procedures should be followed after installation to ensure optimal pad and rotor mating.
