Key Features:
Engineered to work in harmony, the components of the PowerStop Z17 Semi-Coated Rotor Brake Kit offer multiple benefits:
- Semi-coated rotors feature a silver epoxy coating on the hat, outer edges, and vanes to resist corrosion and maintain a clean, new-car appearance.
- Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads utilize a low-dust formula validated by third-party on-vehicle testing in Los Angeles city traffic, keeping your wheels cleaner for longer.
- Multi-layer rubberized shims on the brake pads reduce noise and vibration, ensuring virtually silent braking.
- Rotors are dynamically balanced and manufactured to strict tolerances for Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) and runout, promoting smooth, consistent braking performance.
- Includes stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant for a complete, professional-grade brake service.
- Direct bolt-on replacement requires no modifications, preserving factory fitment and safety standards.
- Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2018 and Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010.
Construction & Design:
The rotors in this kit are precision-engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. The semi-coating process applies a durable silver epoxy layer selectively to areas most susceptible to rust, such as the rotor hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes. This targeted coating strategy protects critical surfaces without compromising braking friction.
The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads combine advanced friction materials with a multi-layer rubberized shim system. This design minimizes brake dust and noise while delivering consistent stopping power under everyday driving conditions. Stainless-steel hardware included in the kit ensures corrosion resistance and long-lasting secure installation.
Performance & Sound
The Z17 brake pads’ low-dust ceramic formula significantly reduces wheel dust buildup, helping maintain a clean wheel appearance. The multi-layer rubberized shims effectively dampen noise and vibration, resulting in quiet, smooth braking. The rotors’ dynamic balancing and strict manufacturing tolerances minimize brake judder and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort and control.
Installation & Fitment:
This brake kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation on compatible Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models, requiring no modifications or special tools beyond standard brake service equipment. The inclusion of stainless-steel hardware and ceramic lubricant simplifies the installation process and ensures optimal brake system performance and longevity.
