DIXCEL Premium Type Brake Pads – A Premium Street Pad Explained
When upgrading brake pads for daily driving, most drivers want the same things: predictable braking, low dust, quiet operation, and long service life. This is exactly where DIXCEL Premium Type brake pads excel.
Designed by one of Japan’s most respected brake manufacturers, Premium Type pads deliver refined street performance with OEM-plus feel — making them an ideal upgrade for modern performance and luxury vehicles.
What Are DIXCEL Premium Type Brake Pads?
DIXCEL Premium Type brake pads are a high-quality street-focused compound developed for real-world driving conditions. They offer improved braking response over standard factory pads while maintaining excellent comfort, low noise, and reduced dust.
Rather than chasing extreme temperature capability, Premium Type focuses on what matters most on the street: consistent cold bite, smooth modulation, and everyday reliability.
Key Characteristics of Premium Type Pads
Confident Cold Bite & Smooth Pedal Feel
Premium Type pads provide immediate response from cold, making them well suited to stop-start traffic and daily commuting. Pedal feel remains smooth and linear, allowing precise control without grabby behaviour.
Low Dust for Cleaner Wheels
Brake dust is a common complaint with factory and performance pads alike. Premium Type pads are formulated to significantly reduce visible dust, helping keep wheels cleaner over time — especially important on vehicles with open-spoke wheels.
Quiet, Comfortable Operation
Noise suppression is a major focus of the Premium Type compound. When installed correctly and bedded in, these pads deliver quiet braking with minimal squeal or vibration during normal driving.
Long Service Life & Rotor-Friendly Wear
Premium Type pads are engineered for durability, offering excellent pad life while being gentle on brake rotors. This balance helps reduce long-term maintenance costs without sacrificing braking confidence.
Who Are Premium Type Pads Best Suited For?
- Daily-driven performance vehicles
- Luxury sedans and SUVs
- European vehicles sensitive to dust and noise
- Japanese performance platforms
- Drivers upgrading from factory brake pads
