What is brake fade and how do these pads help prevent it?

Brake fade happens when your brakes overheat and lose effectiveness, often during heavy use like downhill driving. These pads are designed with high resistance to fade, meaning they can handle more heat and maintain their stopping power when you need it most.

What does 'aggressive initial bite' mean for braking?

An aggressive initial bite means the pads grab the rotor firmly as soon as you apply the brakes. This results in a quicker, more responsive feel when you first press the pedal, helping you slow down faster.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit includes both the performance brake pads and the necessary hardware for installation. This makes it a convenient all-in-one solution for servicing your brakes.
