What is brake fade and why is it important to resist it?

Brake fade happens when brake components get too hot, reducing their ability to slow your vehicle. High resistance to fade means these pads maintain their stopping power even under heavy use, like going downhill with a trailer.

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

Yes, this kit comes with the brake pads and the necessary hardware for installation. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures.

How do these pads perform differently from standard OE pads?

These Ultimate Duty pads are formulated for improved performance, offering a more aggressive initial bite and better fade resistance, especially beneficial for heavier trucks or those carrying loads.

About this part

Product Details

These DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Brake Pads are built with a compound that offers improved braking, especially noticeable when your truck is fitted with larger tires or when you're towing a load. The material is chosen for its high resistance to brake fade, which is crucial when you need consistent stopping power, particularly when descending hills.

You'll experience an aggressive initial bite from these pads, meaning they grab quickly when you first apply the brakes. This kit includes the necessary hardware for installation, making it a straightforward replacement for your front brakes. They are designed to fit a range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks from the late 80s through the early 2000s, including models like the Chevrolet C2500, GMC Sierra, and Chevrolet Express vans.
