DIXCEL Bobbin (Type I) - 2 Piece Disc Rotor Replacement Hardware - Sold Each
Replace worn or damaged floating bobbins on your Dixcel 2-piece disc rotors with genuine Dixcel Type I bobbins. Bobbins are the floating drive hardware that connect the rotor disc ring to the aluminium centre hat, allowing the disc to expand and contract freely under heat for consistent braking performance and extended rotor life. This listing is for a single Type I bobbin, sold each.
This bobbin is the correct Type I replacement for the following Dixcel 2-piece disc rotor applications: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (CZ4A) Brembo, Honda Civic Type R (FL5 front and FK8), Nissan R35 GT-R (MY07 380x34mm front, MY11 390x32.6mm front, and 380x30mm rear), and Subaru Impreza WRX STI RA-R / R205 / S206 and WRX STI S207 with the 6-piston Brembo front brake. Please confirm the bobbin type fitted to your existing Dixcel 2-piece rotor before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine Dixcel Type I bobbin
- Replacement floating hardware for Dixcel 2-piece disc rotors
- Allows the disc ring to float relative to the centre hat
- Sold individually (each) — order the quantity required for your rotor
Rotor applications, bobbin counts and compatibility are provided in the tabs above. A complete 2-piece rotor uses multiple bobbins per disc, so please confirm the quantity required for your application before ordering.

* "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.
