This kit offers an affordable and straightforward solution for drivers looking to restore or enhance their truck’s braking performance. Ideal for daily-driven vehicles, it combines high-quality semi-coated rotors, low-dust ceramic brake pads, and stainless-steel hardware to deliver reliable stopping power, reduced brake dust, and long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Whether you’re replacing worn-out components or upgrading your braking system for improved safety and aesthetics, this kit provides everything needed for a smooth, quiet, and confident driving experience.

Key Features:

PowerStop’s Semi-Coated Rotor Kit integrates advanced materials and engineering to improve braking efficiency and durability. 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 through rigorous third-party on-vehicle testing
• Multi-layer rubberized shims that significantly reduce brake noise for virtually silent operation
• Stainless-steel installation hardware included for corrosion resistance and secure fitment
• 100% dynamic mill balancing of rotors to minimize disc thickness variation (DTV) and runout, ensuring smooth braking
• Direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required, maintaining factory fit and function
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to optimize pad break-in and reduce noise
• Engineered to restore and improve the braking performance of daily-driven Dodge Ram trucks

Construction & Design:

The rotors in this kit are precision-manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring reliable performance and longevity. The semi-coated design strategically applies corrosion-resistant epoxy coating only to critical areas prone to rust, such as the rotor hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes, while leaving the braking surface clean for optimal pad contact.

The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads feature a proprietary low-dust formula that keeps wheels cleaner and extends pad life. Their multi-layer rubberized shims provide effective noise insulation, preventing annoying brake squeal without compromising braking power.

Performance & Sound

This kit is engineered to deliver consistent, confident stopping power with minimal brake dust and noise. The combination of semi-coated rotors and low-dust ceramic pads ensures your wheels stay cleaner longer, while the rubberized shims virtually eliminate brake noise for a quiet, comfortable ride. Dynamic balancing of the rotors reduces vibration and pedal pulsation, contributing to a smooth braking feel.

Installation & Fitment:

The PowerStop Semi-Coated Rotor Kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the front brakes of 2000 to 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. No modifications or special tools are required, making installation straightforward for professional mechanics and experienced DIYers alike. The included stainless-steel hardware and ceramic lubricant simplify the process and help ensure a secure, long-lasting fit.

What's Included:

• Two semi-coated front brake rotors
• Z17 Evolution Plus low-dust ceramic brake pads
• Stainless-steel installation hardware kit
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant
