This kit delivers a reliable, affordable solution for drivers seeking to restore or enhance their vehicle’s braking performance with minimal effort. Ideal for daily drivers and light-duty trucks, it combines precision-engineered rotors, low-dust ceramic brake pads, and stainless-steel hardware to provide smooth, quiet, and consistent stopping power.

Whether you’re replacing worn-out factory brakes or upgrading for improved durability and appearance, this kit offers a direct bolt-on fit with no modifications required. It’s engineered to maintain the original driving feel while reducing brake dust and corrosion for a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.

Key Features:

PowerStop’s Semi-Coated Rotor Kit integrates advanced materials and design to enhance braking performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Semi-coated rotors with a silver epoxy finish on the hat, outer edges, and vanes to resist rust and corrosion
• Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads formulated for low dust output, validated by third-party on-vehicle testing in urban traffic conditions
• Multi-layer rubberized shims on brake pads to reduce noise and vibration for virtually silent braking
• 100% dynamic mill balancing of rotors to strict tolerances for Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) and runout, ensuring smooth and quiet operation
• Includes stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant for optimal assembly and performance
• Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for reliable fit and function
• Direct bolt-on replacement, requiring no modifications or special tools
• Designed to keep wheels cleaner by minimizing brake dust accumulation

Construction & Design:

The rotors in this kit are crafted from high-quality cast iron and feature a precision-applied silver epoxy coating on critical areas prone to corrosion, including the rotor hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes. This semi-coating extends rotor life and preserves a fresh, new-car appearance over time. The Z17 Evolution Plus brake pads utilize a ceramic friction formula that balances effective stopping power with low dust production and minimal wear.

Each pad is equipped with multi-layer rubberized shims that act as noise insulators, preventing squeals and vibrations during braking. The stainless-steel hardware included ensures secure, rust-resistant installation, contributing to the overall durability and reliability of the braking system.

Performance & Sound

This brake kit is engineered to deliver smooth, consistent stopping power with reduced brake dust and noise. The low-dust ceramic pads help maintain cleaner wheels, while the rubberized shims virtually eliminate brake squeal for a quiet driving experience. The dynamically balanced rotors minimize vibrations and pulsations, providing confident pedal feel and enhanced control under everyday driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

The PowerStop Semi-Coated Rotor Kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the specified Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge models. Installation requires no modifications, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike. All necessary hardware and high-temperature lubricant are included to facilitate a straightforward and secure installation process.
