Continuous improvement

That’s Performance Friction’s goal for its products in racing, off-highway, and for the street. Technology doesn’t just happen overnight. To accomplish our goals, PFC devotes major resources to research and development. Endless hours of dyno testing, combined with intense on-track and on-highway tests are completed before PFC will even consider releasing a new product.

PFC supports and funds the development of dynamometer tests and analysis which ultimately benefit the entire industry. PFC firmly believes that in-house bench, shear and dyno tests are among the most important steps in maintaining quality.

We test every product at every stage of development, from laboratory to highway.

During development, dyno and shear testing ensures product durability.

During production, realistic road and track simulations give us critical data on temperature performance, noise, friction and vibration. We can accurately simulate 500 laps at 200 MPH, or a leisurely country drive.

But we don’t relax after simulations.

Before any product goes to market, it goes to the road for the ultimate product validation: on-vehicle testing. Using the actual models for which each component is designed, we capture critical data regarding:

Stopping distance

Fade performance

Brake system response

Brake balance

Noise and vibration

Component interactions

Brake life

Rotor life

From start to stop, we build the best brakes for your vehicle—whether it’s NASCAR, street vehicle, motorcycle, KART or a heavy haul truck. No compromises.
