Japanese brake specialist DIXCEL makes pads for everything from daily driving to endurance racing, and this front pad set suits the Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar with Brembo 6-piston calipers. It comes in six 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
- ES Type (Extra Speed): step-up street pad with more braking power and fade resistance than standard, for spirited road driving
- Z Type: graphite metallic all-round sports pad with strong cold bite and high fade resistance, from the street to the circuit
- RA Type: carbon semi-metallic racing pad with consistently high friction at high temperatures, for track days, club racing and one-make series
- 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 and ES Type; graphite LP1652 grease with Z Type)
- ES Type: mechanical wear indicators fitted where the car had them from the factory
- RA Type and 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
