What makes the Z36 brake pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 brake pads are reinforced with Carbon-Fiber, which significantly enhances their strength. This makes them better suited to handle the increased heat and stress from towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use compared to typical ceramic pads.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this is a complete bolt-on kit. It includes the Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, Drilled & Slotted rotors, powder-coated calipers, premium stainless-steel installation hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

How do the Drilled & Slotted rotors help with braking performance?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors serve two main purposes. The slots help to sweep away gas and dust, while both the slots and holes allow for better airflow. This combination maximizes heat dissipation, keeping your brakes cooler and performing more consistently, especially during heavy use like towing or downhill driving.
