What makes the Z36 pads suitable for towing and hauling?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This formulation enhances the strength of standard ceramic pads, allowing them to better handle the increased stress and heat generated when towing or hauling heavy loads.

What is the benefit of Drilled & Slotted rotors?

Drilled and slotted rotors help to keep brake temperatures down. The slots help to sweep away gas and dust, while both the drilling and slotting increase the surface area for better heat dissipation, which is critical under heavy braking conditions.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit is designed as a complete bolt-on upgrade. 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.
