Bring low-dust, confident stopping to your classic European driver with the Dynamic Friction DFC EURO 5000 Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (MPN 1600-0031-00, also written 1600003100). This ceramic pad set is cataloged across a wide range of vintage European models — including the 1961-1964 BMW 1500, 1967-1969 BMW 2002, 1964-1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia, 1975-1980 Ferrari 308 GTB, and 1968-1973 Mercedes-Benz 220 — with many more listed. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application list. Depending on the application, it is cataloged for both front and rear positions.
Brake pads clamp against the rotor to generate the friction that slows the wheel. Signs a set may need replacing include squealing, reduced braking response, or thinning friction material.
- Advanced ceramic formulation: developed for European applications.
- Excellent fade resistance during repeated braking.
- Low dust for cleaner wheels.
- Stable friction performance across a wide temperature range.
Ceramic pads deliver quiet, low-dust stops with a smooth, consistent pedal feel during everyday street driving. For even, balanced braking, it's best practice to replace pads across the axle as a matched set rather than one side alone.
