EC type 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.

What is the difference between ES type and EC type?

 

EXTRA Speed(ES) and EXTRA Cruise(EC) are two unique products developed to outperform stock brake pads with inexpensive pricing.
ES Type: High temperature tolerance (up to 600C) with mild initial friction. Characteristics suitable for sporty driving. Generates more brake dust than EC type.
EC Type: Good initial friction for extra safety in city driving. Not suitable for sporty driving which requires high temperature tolerance.

Testing data showing the performance differences of the EC-type pads and OEM pads.

 

The extra series has the brake performance of a 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 result, the EC-type has an average of 3.5 meters shorter braking distance compared to the OEM.

WHAT THE PROS SAY

A GLANCE OF WHAT THE PROS THINK ABOUT
THE TRADITIONAL DECELERATION AT IT'S EXCELLENCE

Installation was simple and straight forward. After bedding the immediate result were quite noticeable. This pad and rotor combination is a noticeable improvement over OEM. The feel is solid and progressive as you'd want them to be for a high-performance street brake pad and rotor. The feel is consistent time after time and confidence inspiring at speed.

Brian Tuck on Z Type Pads with FS Rotors

The M-Type brake pads from DIXCEL Japan are truly a street driver's ideal pad! They offer plenty of bite and stopping power for your typical "spirited" street driver, just aggressive enough when needed while still being practical and suitable to daily driving. I was eager to see if the M-Type live up their advertised claim of low noise, low dust, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they do indeed live up to those claims! The M-Type are virtually silent when braking, and most importantly for me, generate very minimal brake dust!

Jason Lee on M Type Pads

These pads do not require warming up like the PMCR track pads obviously and quickly get up to operating temp on normal drives. The feel is solid and progressive as you'd want them to be for a high performance street brake pad. The feel is consistent time after time and confidence inspiring at speeds up to 100+ MPH.

Nam on Z Type Pads with Aftermarket 2 Piece Rotors

Compared to the 'Specom-β' and the 'RA-type', the braking power was a level higher. The brakes were easy to control and the pedal feel was just right. The braking power was so significant, that on a street-use car, the ABS would kick in. The pads are ideal when you are especially seeking brake power. They are ideal for time trials with high grip tires or you want a fast lap time with few laps.

Tetsuya Tanaka on Specom-α Pads

The pads are very stable with high braking power. The pads also feature superior pad life. I can confidently recommend the pads for race circuit-use and street-use. Long repeated laps on the race circuit cause no problems; the brakes work well even with a light brake pedal touch which makes it easy to use on the streets. If you were to use the pads for racing, it would have to be for an endurance race; the long pad life and stable braking power is ideal for it.
