What makes the Z26 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z26 pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound, which strengthens the material for improved stopping power. This is combined with multi-layer stainless-steel shims to help dissipate heat and reduce noise.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit comes with the Z26 brake pads, premium stainless-steel hardware, and ceramic brake lubricant, making it a complete package for your brake job.

How long will these brake pads last?

The powder-coated backing plate helps resist rust and corrosion, contributing to extended pad life. The low-dust formulation and chamfered/slotted design also promote consistent wear and performance.

The thermal scorching on the pad surface means they're ready to go right out of the box with a fast break-in period.
