- Improved stopping power compared to OEM brake pads.
- Helps prolong disc life.
- Scorched friction surface for an improved bedding-in process.
- Pre-installed mechanical brake pad sensors and stop noise shim. (On models originally equipped with sensors)
- Can be used with any type of DIXCEL brake disc range.

Characteristic Chart
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.
Price comparisons between car manufacturers’ original products and EC pads
Being an entry level product of DIXCEL, EC type brake pads have a superior price-performance ratio. With upgraded overall performance, EC type delivers great value as general replacement parts.
