DIXCEL ES Type Front Brake Pads – STI / Evo / SS-V / BRZ / 86

Overview

The DIXCEL ES (Extra Speed) Type brake pads are engineered for drivers who demand more braking power and heat resistance while keeping things economical for everyday use. Ideal for city driving, winding roads, and spirited runs in performance vehicles like the Subaru STI, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Holden SS-V, and Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, these pads are the perfect starting point for brake tuning.
