BRAKE DISCS

The almighty replacement brake disc

All DIXCEL brake discs come with anti-corrosion protection, a protection not offered by other manufacturers and OEM suppliers.
A strict manufacturing precision standard allowed us to achieve reductions in both disc noise level and vibrations.
Improvements in durability, crack resistance and heat resistance were achieved by mixing a formulation of additives in the disc material.

防錆処理

High carbon material is used for sports cars and vehicles with high brake loads to improve durability compared to conventional products.

※Sample photo, actual product may vary. Not all products have ventilation fins. Discs are designed to the same specifications as the OEM product.

※Anti-corrosion protection of the discs will not completely prevent corrosion from occurring. Since the discs are made of cast iron, it is impossible to completely prevent corrosion. Please be aware DIXCEL will not offer any exchanges/refunds for corrosion of discs.

Characteristic Chart

The radar chart represents a comparison of each characteristic between DIXCEL products and general OEM products.

The values above should be only used as a reference to better understand the performance differences.

Higher values signifies the performance increases when compared to the standard disc.

Not only does corrosion ruin the brake disc’s appearance, it can also lead to the corrosion of the alloy wheels.

Comparison of anti-corrosion coated disc and a non-coated disc

Please compare the two pictures below.
The disc on the left is without any coating, and the disc on the right has anti-corrosion coating.
The difference in the amount of corrosion is clear even after just six months of use.

Not only does corrosion ruin the brake disc’s appearance, it can also lead to the corrosion of the alloy wheels. （At some car manufacturers, cars with alloy wheels come factory-equipped with brake discs that have anti-corrosion coating.）

At DIXCEL, all brake discs come with anti-corrosion coating, to protect discs and wheels from corrosion. The ideal type of anti-corrosion coating is used for each vehicle.

Different types of anti-corrosion coating.

※Anti-corrosion coating of the discs cannot completely prevent corrosion from occurring. Since the discs are made of cast iron, it is impossible to prevent corrosion.
Please be aware DIXCEL will not offer any exchanges/refunds if corrosion were to occur on the discs.

The DIXCEL PD series is recommended for users who want quality discs at a reasonable price.

Cutting for balancing

All DIXCEL brake discs are checked for balance to prevent vibration. Correction of the balance is done by milling/cutting out the side of brake discs. This is a method taken by car manufacturers’ brake discs.
