Why Choose the Z23 Evolution Kit?
Say goodbye to the standard, off-the-shelf brake parts that just don't cut it. The Z23 Evolution Kit is designed specifically for your Pontiac Vibe, providing a perfect fit and exceptional performance. With this kit, you get:
- Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Engineered for improved braking performance, these pads are ideal for everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs.
- Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims: These shims act as a superior noise insulator, ensuring virtually silent braking.
- Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors: Designed for maximum cooling, these rotors help protect against rust and corrosion, ensuring longer life and better performance.
- Premium Stainless Steel Hardware: Comes with high-temperature brake lubricant for optimal performance.
Break-In Procedure
To ensure your new brakes perform at their best, follow these break-in steps:
- Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process.
- Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool down. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
- After these stops, drive for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without excessive braking to allow for a cooling stage.
- Once the brakes have cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use them normally. Remember, never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.
