Features

  • Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Designed for everyday driving, these pads offer enhanced braking performance for cars, trucks, and SUVs.
  • Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims: These shims act as a superior noise insulator, ensuring virtually silent braking.
  • Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors: These rotors maximize cooling and help prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Premium Stainless Steel Hardware: Includes hi-temp brake lubricant for optimal performance.

Break-In Procedure

To ensure the best performance from your new brakes, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Make 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop if possible.
  • Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again in quick succession. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • Finally, drive the vehicle for about 5 minutes at moderate speed without excessively heating the brakes or coming to a complete stop. This is the cooling stage.

Remember, never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.
