Japanese brake specialist DIXCEL makes pads for everything from daily driving to endurance racing, and this front pad set suits the Subaru WRX and Liberty GT. It comes in six DIXCEL compounds, from the EC Type for street use to the R01 Type for circuit and 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
- 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
- R01 Type: high-density graphite metallic racing pad with ultra-low heat transfer to the caliper and very mild disc wear for a race pad
- 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
- R01 Type: bed in by bringing the discs up to about 500°C without hard braking, then let them cool naturally below 100°C
- R01 Type is made to order by DIXCEL, which can take a month or more
- Developed in Japan by DIXCEL
