How do these Z17 ceramic pads improve everyday braking?

The Z17 formula is a low-dust ceramic compound designed to limit noise and produce consistent friction during normal driving. Pads are chamfered and slotted to promote fast break-in, reduce vibration, and help keep pad edges from chattering under load.

• Thermal scorched, chamfered, and slotted pad faces for faster bed-in
• Ceramic compound that generates less brake dust than many semi-metallic pads
• Rubberized shims included to dampen noise and minimize vibration
• Engineered for predictable pedal feel in daily driving conditions

What benefits do the OE replacement rotors deliver?

Each rotor is precision mill-balanced to OE specifications to restore smooth rotation and reduce pedal pulsation caused by warped discs. These non-coated rotors focus on reliable contact with the new pads to recover initial braking comfort and control.

• Precision-milled surface for consistent pad contact and reduced vibration
• Non-coated finish matches OE mating behavior for predictable friction
• Balanced to minimize runout and pedal pulsation after installation
• Direct-fit design — no machining or modification required

What’s included and how easy is installation?

This kit provides everything needed for a complete rear brake refresh: two rear Z17 ceramic pads, two rear OE replacement rotors, rubberized shims, and stainless-steel installation hardware. The hardware and direct-fit components allow a bolt-on replacement that many owners can complete with standard tools.
