Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads utilize a carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound that balances durability with quiet operation. This advanced material provides superior friction characteristics, making it ideal for trucks and SUVs that require dependable stopping power under heavy loads or off-road conditions. The powder-coated backing plates protect against rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.

The chamfered and slotted pad surface further aids in heat dissipation and reduces the risk of brake fade during demanding use.

The ceramic formula minimizes brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner, and the stainless-steel shims combined with the chamfered and slotted design virtually eliminate brake noise. Thermal scorching of the pad surface accelerates the break-in process, allowing you to experience optimal braking performance sooner. These pads provide consistent, fade-resistant braking performance whether you’re towing heavy trailers or navigating off-road trails.
