Product Description

The DBA DB1845XP Xtreme Performance Front Brake Pads are engineered for drivers seeking maximum braking confidence under demanding conditions. Utilizing DBA's advanced semi-metallic carbon-fiber XP compound, these pads provide aggressive initial bite and maintain consistent friction characteristics across a broad temperature range.

Designed for performance-oriented vehicles equipped with Brembo braking systems, the XP series is well suited for spirited street driving, police pursuit applications, club track days, heavy towing, and upgraded performance vehicles. The scorched friction surface improves cold effectiveness while reducing bedding-in time, and the integrated slot design helps maintain pad stability by evacuating dust and debris.

Application-specific multi-layer shims help minimize vibration and brake noise, delivering excellent pedal feel without compromising comfort. When paired with DBA 4000 or 5000 Series T3 rotors, the DB1845XP offers exceptional stopping power, fade resistance, and long-term durability for high-performance braking demands.
