Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-0996-01
Shopping for a Lexus RX350 brake pad upgrade that feels factory-smooth? The Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (P/N 1551-0996-00) is a rear-axle ceramic set built to the demands of modern braking. It fits the 2007-2009 Lexus RX350, 2006-2008 Lexus RX400H, 2004-2006 Lexus RX330, and the 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
DFC formulates the 5000 line for each axle on every vehicle, so this set is matched to the rear position on the listed applications.
These rear pads install as a matched set; for even, balanced braking it's best practice to service both rear wheels together and inspect the rotors at the same time.
Will this disc brake pad set fit my Lexus RX350?
Yes — this rear set fits the 2007-2009 Lexus RX350, 2006-2008 RX400H, 2004-2006 RX330, and the 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Are these front or rear brake pads?
These are rear-axle pads. DFC formulates the 5000 line for each axle, and this set is cataloged for the rear position on the listed applications.
Are these good Toyota Highlander rear brake pads for daily driving?
Yes. The ceramic formulation is designed for a consistent pedal feel with quieter operation and less visible dust than semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
What are signs my 2005 Toyota Highlander brake pads need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances, a pulsing or soft pedal, or a brake warning. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause before replacing.
Are these Toyota Highlander OEM brake pads?
They are a DFC aftermarket set using selected original-equipment manufacturer formulations. They are a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, not a dealer-branded OEM part.
