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 performance pads are formulated to maintain their stopping power even at high operating temperatures, helping to prevent fade during repeated or hard braking.

What does 'aggressive initial bite' mean for braking?

Aggressive initial bite refers to how quickly and strongly the brake pads engage the rotor when you first apply the brakes. These pads offer a strong, immediate response, giving you a confident feel as soon as you press the pedal.

Does this kit include everything needed to install the front brake pads?

Yes, this is a hardware kit, meaning it includes the necessary hardware along with the performance brake pads for your front axle. This ensures you have the components needed for a complete replacement.

Product Details

When you're pushing your 2006-2013 Volvo C70 a bit harder, especially during spirited driving or when you need to slow down quickly, having reliable stopping power is key. This DFC Active Performance Pads and Hardware Kit is designed to give you that extra confidence. These pads are built to offer a significant step up in braking performance compared to standard pads, providing better control and response when you need it most.

What sets these pads apart is their high-friction formulation. This means they generate more stopping force, especially under demanding conditions. You'll notice improved modulation, which is how smoothly you can apply and release the brakes, and better threshold control, helping you avoid locking up the wheels. They're also made to resist brake fade, even when they get hot, so your brakes keep working effectively during repeated stops or aggressive driving. The aggressive initial bite gives you a strong, immediate response when you first press the pedal.

This kit includes the necessary hardware for installation, making it a complete solution for upgrading your front brakes. If you're looking for a noticeable improvement in your C70's braking feel and performance, these pads are a solid option.
