Key Features
- Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Designed specifically for everyday vehicles, these pads deliver upgraded braking performance, ensuring you stop safely and efficiently.
- Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims: These shims act as excellent noise insulators, providing virtually silent braking so you can enjoy a peaceful ride.
- Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors: These rotors not only maximize cooling but also help prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Premium Stainless Steel Hardware: The kit includes high-temperature brake lubricant for improved performance and longevity.
Break-In Procedure
To ensure optimal performance from your new brake kit, follow this break-in procedure:
- Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop; if necessary, let the vehicle roll slightly to prevent rotor imprinting.
- Next, complete 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again without letting the brakes cool. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up, which is normal.
- After these initial stops, drive your vehicle for about 5 minutes at moderate speed without excessive braking to allow the brakes to cool down naturally. Avoid using water to cool the brakes to prevent damage.
- Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use your brakes as normal.
Fitment
- Compatible with Acura CL 1997
