Product Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pad line focuses on consistent braking feel and dependable response without forcing you to choose between comfort and control. For front axle service, this disc brake pad set is a direct-fit option for applications such as the 1988-1991 BMW M3, 1982-1985 Porsche 928, 1989-1993 Ferrari Mondial t, and 1989-1991 Maserati Spyder. The 4000-0253-00 part number is also listed for additional BMW and Ferrari front brake applications, making it a practical choice when you need a replacement pad set with OE-style fitment dimensions and everyday drivability in mind.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

  • Squealing or noisy front brake pads
  • Excess brake dust buildup on wheels
  • Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel
  • Reduced braking response from worn pads
  • Front pad replacement on vehicles with electronic wear sensor preparation

Installation Notes

  • Compatible With front brake positions only, based on the listed fitment.
  • Pad wear sensor is not included; some applications require a separate sensor such as 341-31001, 341-31000, or 341-02003 depending on vehicle.
  • Mounting hardware is not included.
  • Verify caliper shape, sensor requirements, and pad dimensions before installation.
  • Always inspect rotors and brake fluid condition when replacing pads.
