Installation and Break-In Procedure

Installing the Z36 Truck and Tow Kit is straightforward, but following the break-in procedure is crucial for optimal performance:

  • Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph without allowing the brakes to cool.
  • Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again without cooling the brakes.
  • Finally, drive for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed to allow the brakes to cool down naturally.

Remember, avoid using water to cool your brakes, as this can cause damage.
