Key Features:

This kit is engineered to provide reliable, clean, and quiet braking performance with the following key features:

• Genuine GEOMET 360 coating on rotors for superior rust and corrosion protection without compromising braking efficiency
• Z17 low-dust ceramic brake pads formulated to minimize brake dust buildup, validated through third-party on-vehicle testing in real-world traffic conditions
• Multi-layer rubberized shims on brake pads to reduce noise and vibration for virtually silent braking
• Stainless-steel installation hardware included to ensure a secure, long-lasting fit and prevent rust
• Rotors manufactured to original equipment specifications for precise fit and consistent performance
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to optimize pad break-in and reduce noise
• Complete front brake kit designed for easy, affordable replacement on daily-driven vehicles

Construction & Design:

The rotors in this kit feature a thin, durable layer of Genuine GEOMET 360 coating, a patented anti-corrosion treatment that extends rotor life and maintains a clean, factory-new appearance behind open-design wheels. This coating is environmentally friendly and does not affect the rotor’s friction surface, ensuring consistent braking performance.

The Z17 Evolution brake pads utilize a ceramic friction formula that balances stopping power with low dust generation. The pads include multi-layer rubberized shims that act as noise insulators, preventing squeals and vibrations commonly associated with brake pad wear. Stainless-steel hardware complements the assembly by resisting rust and maintaining proper pad alignment over time.

Performance & Sound

Designed for daily driving, the Z17 Evolution kit delivers smooth, confident braking with minimal noise. The low-dust ceramic pads help keep your wheels cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance and enhancing curb appeal. The multi-layer shims effectively dampen noise, providing a quiet braking experience even in stop-and-go traffic.
