Dixcel pads are designed to deliver consistent braking performance, stable pedal feel, and reliable control for daily driving through to more spirited use.
This listing covers the kei class Jimny across the leaf sprung JA11, JA12 and JA22 chassis and the later coil sprung JB23W, all with the 660cc engine. It also covers the 1.3L Jimny Sierra in JB31W, JB32W, JB33W and JB43W forms. The Mazda AZ-Offroad (JM23W), a rebadged version of the JB23W Jimny built under an agreement between Mazda and Suzuki, is also covered. Multiple compound options are available, ranging from street-focused replacements to higher-performance applications. Use the comparison chart on this product page to select the compound best suited to your driving style and vehicle configuration.
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and pad shape are provided in the tabs above. Please ensure your vehicle's year, trim level, and brake configuration are confirmed 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.
