Key Features:

PowerStop’s Semi-Coated Rotor Kit integrates advanced materials and engineering to optimize braking efficiency and longevity. Key features include:

• Semi-coated rotors with a silver epoxy finish on the hat, outer edges, and vanes to resist corrosion and maintain a clean, new appearance
• Z17 Evolution Plus low-dust ceramic brake pads formulated to minimize brake dust buildup and validated through rigorous third-party on-vehicle testing
• Multi-layer rubberized shims on brake pads to insulate noise and ensure virtually silent braking
• Stainless-steel installation hardware included for corrosion resistance and secure fitment
• 100% dynamic mill balancing of rotors to reduce disc thickness variation (DTV) and runout, promoting smooth, vibration-free braking
• Direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required, simplifying installation
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to enhance pad break-in and reduce noise
• Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit, form, and function

Construction & Design:

The rotors are precision-manufactured from premium-grade cast iron and feature a semi-coated design that targets corrosion-prone areas with a durable silver epoxy coating. This selective coating protects the rotor’s hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes without compromising braking surface performance. The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads utilize a proprietary low-dust formula that balances stopping power with cleanliness, helping to keep wheels looking factory-fresh.

Multi-layer rubberized shims are bonded to the pads to dampen vibrations and eliminate brake squeal, while stainless-steel hardware ensures long-lasting, rust-free installation. Every component is engineered to work harmoniously, delivering consistent performance and durability under demanding conditions.

Performance & Sound

This brake kit is designed to provide smooth, confident stopping power with minimal noise and dust. The low-dust ceramic pads reduce brake dust accumulation on wheels, maintaining a cleaner appearance over time.
