Japanese brake specialist DIXCEL makes pads for everything from daily driving to endurance racing, and this front pad set suits the Honda Civic Type R. It comes in eight DIXCEL compounds, from the Premium 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
- Premium Type: ceramic-fibre street pad made to Japanese quality standards, with low dust and less disc wear than OE pads
- EC Type (Extra Cruise): affordable low-dust street pad with better bite than standard and a pre-scorched surface for easy bedding-in
- M Type: ultra-low-dust street pad with a stable, progressive bite that is designed to keep disc wear to a minimum
- ES Type (Extra Speed): step-up street pad with more braking power and fade resistance than standard, for spirited road driving
- S Type: mid-range sports pad with a linear pedal response, for the street and light track use in naturally aspirated cars up to 1,250kg
- 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 EC Type, M Type and ES Type; graphite LP1652 grease with S Type and Z Type)
- EC Type and ES Type: mechanical wear indicators fitted where the car had them from the factory
- 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)
