Friction Materials:
Carbon Semi Metal
Effective Temperature Range:
200~900℃
Brake dynamometer/Fade test 2nd section:
Initial bite ( μ):0.48/Average μ:0.40~0.43

※The pads use special compound made for SUPER GT cars and formula cars which do not have brake boosters. Please be aware, if used on a car that is equipped with brake boosters, the brake pads may cause too much braking.

PLEASE NOTE : If used for normal street use,the pads may have increased brake dust & noise and decreased disc life.The same issues may occur during circuit-use if the pads are used under temperatures outside the effective temperature range.

 

Test data showing the superior performance of the Specom series.

 µ Plot Shape

This plot represents transition of friction level during a braking application.

High initial bite type gives drivers reliale braking performance at the initial braking application. Easy to decelerate with small pedal pressure even on the long straight line. Good for cars w/o brake servo.

Most common type in three types. Moderate braking force at the initial braking application. Easy to controll at the end of the braking application. Applicable for any car/circuit.

For users requiring great controllability. Least initial bite in three types. Flat friction level enables great controllability throughout the braking application. Most stable performance under continuous severe condition (continuous change of speed/temperature).

About Bedding-in

Competition-use brake pads need to go through a process to be pre-heated before a race to exhibit its full potential. This process is called bedding-in.

《 Method of bedding-in 》

When using new pads/discs for the first time on a circuit, start with 50% braking for about 5 minutes and then go back to the pit once and take at least 5minutes interval. After that, repeat 70~80% braking for about 10 minutes. Pit in again and take an interval of about 10 minutes. After that, gradually increase from 80% to 100% braking, and the bedding-in of pads/discs on circuit is completed.

《 Comparisons of the method of recommended bedding-in 》

  Low pressure Medium to high pressure High pressure Cooling
DIXCEL 5 mins, then cooling of 5mins 10mins, then cooling of 10mins 80% to 100% pressure in 5mins  
Brand A 150-80kph x 10 times (interval 600-800m)   180-60kph x 5 times cooling x 3 minutes
Brand B 50% braking x 5 minutes   80-100% x 5 minutes cooling x 2 minuites
Brand C 5 times 5 times 3 times cooling x 20 minutes PARKING
