Product description

SD Type

The safety of having an additional 20% improvement in brake performance.
  • Simulated testing of both the SD and PD discs in the same conditions show a increase of brake performance by up to 20%.
  • With a 20% increase in brake performance, the driver can drive with more comfort and safety.
  • After careful consideration of various factors such as pad wear, noise level, and gas ventilation, 6 slots was adopted as a standard for SD brake discs.
  • The best width, angle, and depth of the slots were chosen using the data from various races and road tests.
  • For the 6 slot brake discs, reverse rotation (slots pointing forward) is recommended for a better brake performance.
  • By offsetting the slots on the inner and outer side of the disc, an improvement in brake modulation was achieved.

  • The above chart represents evaluation values of our product in 100 phases in comparison with genuine rotors of the test model. Values of genuine rotors show 50.
  • 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.

The performance difference between forward and reverse rotations.

 

The slots are effective in both forward and reverse rotations. The reverse rotation has a higher friction level compared to forward rotation.
But the downside is that the pad wear rate is higher for reverse rotation compared to forward rotation. Please look at the chart below to see the comparison between forward and reverse rotations.

The data above is based on our Z type pads. This test data is from testing on the street and race circuit. The values can vary depending on the pad material. Pad wear level also depends on the usage. At DIXCEL, we evaluated each disc's characteristics. To achieve a high level of friction, we recommend the following uses.
For discs with 6 slots, we recommend reverse rotation. For discs with 12 slots, we recommend forward rotation.

The two-piece brake discs come in 6, 8, and 12 slots. Please use the discs in reverse rotation NOT forward rotation.
For one-piece discs with directional ventilation, please install in the forward rotation since reverse rotation will be harmful to the cooling effects.

The DIXCEL SD series discs are for the users who want more braking power and better disc appearance when compared to their standard disc.
Cutting for balancing


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.

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.
