2011–2020 Dodge Durango / 2011–2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

SC5951

Overview:

The PowerStop Semi-Coated Rotor Kit is a comprehensive front brake upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Durango models from 2011 to 2020 and Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2011 to 2016. This kit offers an affordable and straightforward solution for drivers seeking to refresh their vehicle’s braking system with high-quality components engineered for daily driving. It combines semi-coated rotors, low-dust ceramic brake pads, and stainless-steel hardware to deliver enhanced stopping power, reduced brake dust, and corrosion resistance, all while maintaining a quiet and smooth braking experience.

Ideal for drivers who want to restore or improve their vehicle’s braking performance without the complexity or cost of premium aftermarket systems, this kit ensures reliable, consistent braking for everyday use in city traffic and highway conditions.

Key Features:

PowerStop’s Semi-Coated Rotor Kit integrates advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to provide a balanced upgrade that enhances both performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Semi-coated rotors with a precision-applied silver epoxy coating on the hat, outer edges, and vanes to resist corrosion and maintain a clean, new-car appearance.
• Z17 Evolution Plus low-dust ceramic brake pads formulated to minimize brake dust buildup, validated through independent on-vehicle testing in real-world traffic conditions.
• Multi-layer rubberized shims on brake pads that effectively reduce noise and vibration for virtually silent braking.
• Stainless-steel installation hardware included to ensure secure, rust-resistant mounting and ease of installation.
• Rotors dynamically balanced and manufactured to strict tolerances for Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) and runout, promoting smooth, vibration-free braking.
• Direct bolt-on replacement design requiring no modifications, making installation straightforward and hassle-free.
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to optimize pad break-in and reduce noise.
• Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit, form, and function.

Construction & Design:

The rotors in this kit are crafted from premium-grade cast iron and feature a semi-coated finish that targets the most corrosion-prone areas, including the rotor hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes. This selective coating approach protects critical surfaces while allowing the braking surface to maintain optimal friction characteristics. The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads utilize a proprietary low-dust formula combined with multi-layer rubberized shims to reduce noise and extend pad life. Stainless-steel hardware complements the kit by resisting rust and ensuring consistent brake component alignment.

Each rotor undergoes dynamic balancing and precision machining to strict OEM tolerances, minimizing disc thickness variation and runout. This attention to detail results in smooth pedal feel and reduced brake judder, enhancing overall driving comfort and safety.

Performance & Sound

The combination of semi-coated rotors and low-dust ceramic pads delivers improved stopping power with reduced brake dust accumulation, keeping wheels cleaner for longer. The multi-layer rubberized shims effectively dampen noise and vibrations, resulting in a quiet braking experience free from squeals or rattles. This kit is engineered to provide consistent, reliable braking performance suitable for daily driving conditions, including stop-and-go city traffic and highway cruising.
