Product Details

DBA's Xtreme Performance (XP) brake pads are built for drivers who need serious stopping power. These front pads are designed to give you a strong initial bite and keep that friction consistent, whether you're dealing with everyday traffic, heavy towing, or even hitting the track. They're a solid choice for vehicles like the Subaru WRX, Ford Mustang, or Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG when you need more from your brakes than stock can offer.

The XP compound is formulated for heavy-duty situations where higher friction levels are essential. This means they can handle the heat and stress of demanding driving conditions, helping you brake safely when it matters most. For the best stopping performance, DBA suggests pairing these pads with their 4000 or 5000 Series T3 slotted rotors.
