Pads are listed by chassis code and caliper, including factory Brembo and aftermarket Alcon and AP Racing calipers, so you can match the exact pad shape.

The range spans M-Type low-dust street pads, Z-Type all-round compounds, Specom motorsport compounds, SD and FS slotted discs, FP plain high-carbon discs, brake fluid, wear sensors and temperature indicator stickers.

Choosing the Right Part

DIXCEL part numbers are matched to chassis code and brake hardware, so confirm both before ordering. Listings in this collection are identified by chassis codes such as VW Golf GTI/R Mk7 and Mk8, Audi S3 (8V/8Y), RS3 (8V/8Y), BMW M3 (F80/G80), Honda Civic Type R (FK8/FL5), Mitsubishi Evolution V-IX (CP9A/CT9A), Subaru WRX (GC8/GD/GR/GH/VA/VB), Toyota GR Yaris (GXPA16), GR Corolla (GZEA14H), Toyota 86 (ZN6), Nissan Skyline (R32/R33/R34) and Mercedes-AMG C63 (W204/W205).

Caliper type matters as much as the model: separate pad shapes are listed for Brembo 2-piston, 4-piston and 6-piston calipers, and for aftermarket calipers including Brembo Pista, Alcon CAR89, CAR97 "MONO6", CAR70 "RC6", TA6+, CR6420 and AP Racing CP9660 and CP9668, where pad thickness (for example 16mm, 18mm or 25mm) is the deciding factor. Rotors are listed by diameter and thickness, such as 293.4x24mm, 305x11mm, 324x30mm, 326x20mm and 340x30mm, and are sold as front or rear specific items.

Compound choice: M-Type is the ultra-low dust street compound with a comfortable pedal feel; Z-Type is a graphite metallic all-rounder with high friction from cold for spirited street and occasional circuit use; Specom-α and Specom-β are motorsport compounds for time attack and endurance racing. FS (slotted) and FP (plain) discs use high-carbon metallurgy for greater thermal crack resistance, and SD and FS one-piece discs use DIXCEL's 6-slot pattern.

Installation & What You'll Need

Brakes are a safety-critical system, so installation by a qualified automotive professional is recommended. A typical job calls for a vehicle hoist or jack and axle stands, wheel and caliper tools, a caliper piston tool, brake cleaner, new brake fluid such as DIXCEL 328 Racing DOT4, and the correct torque specifications for your vehicle.

Check whether your vehicle uses electronic brake wear sensors, as replacement DIXCEL sensors are listed for models including BMW M2 (F87/G87), M3 (G80), M4 (G82) and 3 Series (G20). For the 6-slot SD and FS one-piece rotors, DIXCEL recommends "reverse rotation" orientation with the slots pointing forward; on two-piece discs with directional cooling vanes, vane direction takes priority. DIXCEL pads have a scorched surface to assist bedding in, and a proper bedding-in procedure should still be followed. Brake temperature indicator stickers (149°C–260°C) are available to monitor operating temperatures.

FAQ

Where can I buy DIXCEL brake pads in Australia?

Chicane Australia stocks DIXCEL brake pads and rotors and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Shop by vehicle above, search by DIXCEL part number, or email our team your chassis code and caliper type for help.

Which DIXCEL pad suits a daily driver?

If clean wheels and quiet operation are the priority, the M-Type is the choice. It is designed to minimise brake dust while offering a more linear, comfortable pedal feel than many aggressive factory pads on modern European and Japanese performance cars.

What is the benefit of high-carbon FS and FP rotors?

DIXCEL FS and FP series rotors use a high-carbon metallurgy that improves thermal crack resistance compared with standard discs, helping the rotor cope with repeated high-temperature cycles on track-driven cars.

Do DIXCEL slotted rotors have a specific direction?

Yes. For 6-slot SD and FS one-piece rotors, DIXCEL recommends "reverse rotation", with the slots pointing forward, for the best shaving effect and initial bite. For two-piece discs with directional cooling vanes, cooling efficiency takes priority over slot direction.

How do I confirm the right DIXCEL part for my car?

Match your chassis code, front or rear position, caliper type and rotor size to the product title. If you are unsure, email us and we can help you navigate the DIXCEL cross-reference catalogue.
