Japanese brake specialist DIXCEL makes pads for everything from daily driving to endurance racing, and this pad set suits the AP Racing CP9449, CP9450 and CP9451 calipers. It comes in four DIXCEL compounds, from the M Type for street use to the Specom-β for endurance racing, so the pad can be matched to how the car is driven. DIXCEL says its street compounds come with stop noise shims and pad grease in the box, while the racing compounds work from around 200°C and need bedding in before competition use.
Features
- M Type: ultra-low-dust street pad with a stable, progressive bite that is designed to keep disc wear to a minimum
- Z Type: graphite metallic all-round sports pad with strong cold bite and high fade resistance, from the street to the circuit
- RE Type: ABS-friendly carbon semi-metallic racing pad with a milder initial bite and flat friction curve, for radial, semi-slick and slick tyres
- Specom-β (also listed as Specom B): endurance racing pad for long pad life and stable braking over long stints, used in GT, touring and clubman racing
- Stop noise shims and DIXCEL pad grease in the box with the street compounds (PG101 grease with M Type; graphite LP1652 grease with Z Type)
- RE Type: bed in on track before racing (about 5 minutes at 50% braking, cool, then 10 minutes at 70-80%, cool, then build to full effort)
- Developed in Japan by DIXCEL
