Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1551-00
Built for a consistent pedal feel and sharp brake response, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads, part number 1551-0700-00, are a ceramic front disc brake pad set. They fit many vehicles, among them the 1992-2001 Hyundai Elantra, 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra and 2001-2002 Kia Optima. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
When the caliper applies, brake pads press against the rotor and turn the vehicle's motion into heat to slow it down. As an Elantra brake pad, or for any of the other listed applications, this ceramic set installs at the front axle. Replacing the pads on both front wheels at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking.
Front pads may need replacing if you hear squealing or grinding when braking, notice a longer stopping distance, or see that the friction material has worn thin.
Will this work as a Nissan Sentra brake pad replacement?
Yes. It is listed as a front brake pad for the 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra. It also fits the 1992-2001 Hyundai Elantra and 2001-2002 Kia Optima. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact vehicle.
What friction material do these pads use?
They are ceramic pads from the DFC 5000 Advanced line. They use selected OE manufacturer formulations and friction materials designed for vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems.
Are these pads hard on rotors?
Dynamic Friction Company describes these pads as rotor friendly and built for long pad wear.
What are the signs that my front brake pads need replacing?
Signs include squealing or grinding when you brake, a longer stopping distance, or friction material that has worn thin. Inspect the rotors while the wheels are off.
How should these brake pads be installed?
Follow the vehicle's service information for removal, installation and torque values. Replacing the pads on both front wheels at the same time is recommended for even braking.
