The radar chart represents a comparison of each characteristic between DIXCEL products and general OEM products.
Above values are based on actual test results.
Anti-Noise and Anti-Dust values are tested and calculated after a proper bedding-in procedure has been completed.

Testing data showing the performance differences between the EC-type pads and OEM pads.
The extra series has the brake performance of sport brake pads with a price equivalent to OEM pads. To actually test the performance differences, a braking test was done with an stock Toyota Alphard.
The testing method is rather simple. The car goes through full braking from 80km/h. The distance from the braking point to the point where the car comes to a complete stop is measured.

The distance from the braking point to the point where the car comes to a complete stop (Distance in meters)
Test1 | Test2 | Test3 | Test4 | Test5 | The average of the 3 middle numbers excluding the max. and min numbers |
|
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ノーマル | 21.80 | 21.00 | 19.60 | 23.20 | 22.80 | 21.87 |
EC | 19.70 | 17.60 | 17.80 | 21.00 | 17.30 | 18.37 |
The result, the EC-type has an average of 3.5 meters shorter braking distance compared to the OEM pads.
