Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads feature a Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound that strengthens the typical ceramic brake pad formula, allowing them to withstand the increased stress of towing, hauling, and off-road driving. This advanced material delivers consistent braking performance while minimizing dust and noise.

The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to enhance cooling and maintain optimal brake temperatures, which is critical for preventing fade during extended braking events such as mountain descents or heavy towing. The zinc plating on the rotors protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability in various weather conditions.
