Key Features:

DBA’s XP Performance brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design to meet the needs of heavy-duty applications. Key features include:

• Semi-metallic carbon fibre friction material for superior heat resistance and durability
• G-G Class friction rating with an average coefficient of friction (mu) of 0.45, ensuring consistent braking from low to high temperatures
• Excellent high-temperature performance, maintaining optimal braking consistency up to 550°C (1022°F)
• Engineered for high initial bite, providing immediate and confident stopping power
• Designed to work best with DBA’s T3 slotted rotors in the 4000 and 5000 Series for enhanced stopping performance
• Durable construction suited for heavy towing, off-road use, and performance driving
• Reduced brake fade during extended or aggressive braking sessions

Construction & Design:

The DBA XP brake pads utilize a semi-metallic friction compound reinforced with carbon fibre, delivering a robust and heat-resistant braking surface. This composition allows the pads to maintain friction consistency and structural integrity even under extreme thermal stress. The carbon fibre enhances pad durability and reduces wear, while the semi-metallic base ensures strong initial bite and effective heat dissipation.

Each pad is precision-engineered to fit the rear brake calipers of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, ensuring proper alignment and contact with the rotor surface. This meticulous design minimizes noise and vibration, contributing to a smooth and controlled braking experience.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the DBA XP Performance Rear Brake Pads is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory rear pads on 2011–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. No modifications are required, and the pads fit precisely to the OEM caliper specifications. For optimal performance, DBA recommends pairing these pads with their T3 slotted rotors from the 4000 or 5000 Series, which complement the pads’ friction characteristics and heat management capabilities.
