Product Details
If you find yourself “pumping the brakes” over the brake pad selection process for your daily driver, your answer is this DD23 pad. This is the one!
As a team of enthusiasts who own all types of European cars, we have the advantage of the exposure that comes with the enthusiast lifestyle - and have a strong understanding of what makes a great brake pad. In the pursuit of a really great brake pad for daily driving, we’ve tested a wide range of brake pads. After thousands of test miles, iterating through a variety of pad compounds, we’ve landed on the ideal blend for our DD23 Daily Driver pad.
Brake Pad Features:
Good stopping power - Brake pads need to stop your car, period, so this is key. We focused on selecting a compound that offers a healthy level of friction (both when hot and when cold) for safe, positive stopping power.
Positive initial bite - You should feel your brakes engage as you press the pedal, but it should not feel like an on/off switch! Ceramic compounds frequently lack the confidence-inspiring engagement of a healthy initial bite, but the semi-metallic DD23 does not, while giving your passengers a comfortable ride in stop-and-go traffic. We’ve hit a good balance here.
Low-dust (but not no-dust) - Some factory-installed pads are eye-poppingly dusty, which is a no-go for us. While some would instead opt for a ceramic pad for its lighter-colored dust, this dust is just as likely to show up on darker colored calipers and wheels. We’ve improved on the “dust factor” as a good compromise, which will be a win for anyone who doesn’t detail daily (or anyone who does, too!)
Quiet braking - It’s not a race pad, so it shouldn’t squeal like one. DD23 is comfortable and quiet - both on the ears and in lack of vibration transmitted through the cabin.
Long life - This should be an obvious one. Your daily driver pads should last and last, so that was key in selecting our ideal compound. They are kind to rotors, too (no accelerated wear characteristics) for many miles of motoring.
Paired with these pads, Our V5 plain rotor design is perfect for daily drivers looking for a reliable and affordable brake rotor option, and features a durable GeoSpec® silver-colored coating, which offers superior corrosion protection versus a painted or zinc coated rotor. This coating also eliminates the light oiling many manufactures utilize to avoid flash rust while rotors are stored or in transit: this means there's no cleaning or scuffing required to install ECS V5 plain rotors, making brake services quicker than that with uncoated rotors.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a daily driver, This kit is sure to provide you with the stopping power, durability, and reliability you need to confidently tackle any driving situation. Upgrade your braking performance today with this Complete Kit!
