BMW MINI Disc Brake Pad Set - DFC 1551-2486-00

Today, vehicles are increasingly more sophisticated. These vehicles demand the absolute highest quality and performance from their individual components, driven by the move towards autonomous mobility. With this change, the individual components in all the systems need to interact with one another, each depending on very specific parameters designed into each part.

Only 20 years ago, ABS was finally making inroads into most mainstream vehicles. This has been an important development in increasing the safety capability. Along with this development, friction material selection became ever more important due to pre-set vehicle computer systems managing the braking performance of the car using the given parameters of vehicle weight, brake rotor dimensions, caliper force output, tire selection, suspension setting, among several others. The only way to fine-tune the overall braking balance is with, you guessed it, the friction material.

Dynamic Friction Company (DFC) is the first to act upon these new demands by not only reviewing the original equipment brake systems by platform, but also specific vehicles within the platform. It is often the case that with specific vehicle tuning, such as a change in wheel and tire size, the friction material is also changed to compensate for the increased (or decreased) traction capability without changing any of the other parameters in the braking system. We at DFC have taken all of this into account and provide the market with the appropriate friction for each axle of every vehicle. This ongoing process requires intense work. Our research team is involved with OEM friction suppliers in 4 continents to provide the market with specifically formulated friction products that meet exacting requirements, whether it be for a family sedan, performance car, or light truck originating from anywhere in the world.

Features:

• Specifically formulated for each axle on every vehicle (family sedan, sport compact, or light duty truck) to maintain balanced braking, critical for vehicles with ABS and automated braking
• Carefully selected Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) formulations across 4 different continents
• Provides correct friction performance, resulting in the safest possible braking
• Rotor-friendly with proven longer rotor and pad life
• Designed to deliver a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response
