Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads utilize a carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound that balances durability with quiet operation. This advanced formulation provides superior heat resistance and stopping power, essential for towing and heavy-duty applications. The multi-layer stainless-steel shims act as a thermal barrier to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.

Each pad features a powder-coated backing plate that protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. The chamfered edges and precision slots are engineered to reduce noise and vibration, delivering a smooth, confident braking experience.

The combination of ceramic materials and stainless-steel shims virtually eliminates squealing and other unwanted sounds. Additionally, the low dust formula helps maintain wheel cleanliness, reducing maintenance and enhancing overall vehicle appearance.
