Designed for a consistent pedal feel and responsive braking on the daily drive, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 4000 HybriDynamic rear brake pads, part number 4000-0900-00, offer a good value in pad replacement. They fit many vehicles, among them the 2001-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima and 2002-2004 Infiniti I35, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
DFC's HybriDynamic formulation is designed to take the guesswork out of choosing a pad material. It is formulated to pair a steady pedal feel and strong brake response with low dust and low noise, making it a practical choice when your rear disc brake pad set is due for replacement.
- Asbestos-free and copper-free: a 100% asbestos-free, copper-free friction formulation.
- Consistent response: designed to deliver a steady pedal feel and strong brake response, with stable friction performance across a wide temperature range.
- Rotor-friendly: formulated to be easy on rotors, and the manufacturer cites proven longer rotor and pad life.
- Quiet, clean operation: engineered to reduce noise and vibration, with low dust characteristics.
Brake pads wear down with every stop. Signs they may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or pad material worn thin on inspection. Service both wheels on the axle at the same time for even, balanced braking.
