Do I have to use PFC discs when using the pads? Our pad and disc combination provides optimal braking experience for our customers.  We recommend using the full PFC product line and it is in the customer’s best interest to use all PFC products.  This ensures an increase in overall savings for the customer and creates a safer environment with lean-green products.  However, PFC pads can be used with OE aftermarket discs, all while still ensuring PFC’s guarantees and warranties.

What is the difference between Carbon-Metallic and Z-Rated? Both are from the Carbon-Metallic family of brake compounds.  The Z-Rated has an additional cold bite for high performance, severe duty applications.  The difference between the two can be found in the matrix model used in creating the pad.  The compounds are slightly different allowing Z-Rated pads to be used for high performing severe duty applications. Typically the Carbon-Metallic is used for everyday driving.  Although we offer the Z-Rated Carbon-Metallic our standard Carbon-Metallic does in fact outperform our competitors’ top line products.

What makes PFC pads better than the rest?
PFC products are better than other pads because we use a Carbon-Metallic matrix in the mixture of our pads.  This improves thermal (heat) stability, increasing friction (force of resistance against a moving surface, which is the pad against the disc).  Because we use a Carbon-Metallic compound base, our pads do not contain NAO materials that closely resemble asbestos such as competitors’ ceramic brakes.  Most importantly, the compounds we use offer a longer-lasting material that outperforms the competitors by stopping more quickly and quietly.  Competitors cannot match our cost efficiency over any pad life that PFC offers.
