DIXCEL 328 Racing High-Performance Brake Fluid (DOT4)
DIXCEL - Advanced Brake Technology. Achieve the ultimate brake pedal feel and fade resistance with DIXCEL 328 Racing Brake Fluid. Engineered in Japan, this premium fluid boasts a world-class dry boiling point of 328°C, making it one of the few racing-dedicated fluids to successfully meet strict DOT4 standards. It is the perfect solution for drivers who demand a firm, precise pedal feel, whether they are navigating daily traffic or attacking the circuit.
Because it conforms to FMVSS 116 DOT4 and SAE J1704 standards, 328 Racing fluid offers exceptional maintainability and is entirely safe for everyday street driving. This makes it the ideal "do-it-all" fluid for dual-purpose track cars, eliminating the need to swap fluids between race weekends and the daily commute. The glycol-based formula is completely free of tributylamine, ensuring long-term compatibility with your braking system components.
As the official Australian distributor for DIXCEL - Advanced Brake Technology, Chicane Australia recommends performing a complete fluid flush (typically requiring 1 to 1.5 litres, or 2-3 bottles) every two years to maintain optimal moisture resistance and boiling points.

* "YES*" denotes wear sensors are included on primary street applications where applicable. Track-only pads omit sensors due to extreme temperatures.
PD Type
Standard replacement rotor with factory-beating precision and anti-rust coating.
SD Type
Up to 20% more braking power with 6 offset slits for enhanced street and sports driving.
FP Type
Professional plain rotor with advanced heat treatment and 20% more carbon for ultimate crack resistance.
FS Type
The ultimate slotted racing rotor, combining high-carbon durability with enhanced initial bite.
2-Piece Assembly
Floating 2-piece structure prevents thermal judder, cuts weight, and allows outer ring replacement.

FAQ
DIXCEL Brake Pads – Frequently Asked Questions
DIXCEL pads are engineered in Japan to provide improved stopping power, stronger pedal feel, heat resistance and long-term durability. They offer a more controlled braking feel than OEM pads, especially under repeated braking.
- EC Type: Daily street use – quiet & comfortable.
- Premium Type: OEM-plus upgrade for comfort & usability.
- M Type: Ultra-low dust – keeps wheels clean.
- ES Type: Spirited driving & winding roads.
- S Type: Street-sports & occasional track.
- Z Type: Street → supersprints → light circuit.
- RE / Specom B: Motorsport-only – not suitable for road use.
Most street-compound DIXCEL pads include wear sensors if the vehicle requires them. Some cars do not use sensors at all. If your vehicle normally runs a wear sensor and the pad set does not include one, a replacement sensor can be added separately as an optional extra.
Street-focused pads generally include anti-squeal shims and grease. Motorsport compounds typically do not include shims due to high temperature operation and racing caliper design.
Pad life depends heavily on vehicle weight, brake temperature, pad compound and driving style. Gentle daily commuting will see much longer life than repeated hard braking, spirited driving or track use, which can wear pads significantly faster.
Street compounds are designed to minimise noise. Motorsport pads may squeal when cold or lightly used – this is normal behaviour at race-level temperatures.
Yes — bedding-in is essential for correct friction transfer. Perform several medium-pressure stops to apply material to the rotor, followed by light driving to cool the brakes before heavy use.
