What is brake fade and how do these pads help prevent it?

Brake fade happens when brake components get too hot, reducing their effectiveness. These DFC pads are formulated to maintain high resistance to brake fade, meaning they'll continue to stop your car reliably even during repeated hard braking or when the brakes are hot.

What does 'aggressive initial bite' mean for braking?

An aggressive initial bite refers to how quickly and strongly the brake pads engage the rotor when you first apply pressure to the pedal. These pads offer a strong, immediate response, giving you a more confident feeling when you start braking.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes the DFC Active Performance brake pads along with the necessary hardware for installation. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific installation procedures.
