Features

- Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors: Maximize cooling and resist rust and corrosion.
- High-Quality Stainless Steel Hardware: Ensures durability and reliability.
- Hi-Temp Brake Lubricant: Provides smooth operation and longevity.
Break-In Procedure
To get the most out of your new brakes, follow this break-in procedure:
- Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in quick succession without letting the brakes cool down. Avoid coming to a complete stop to prevent any imprint on the rotor.
- Continue with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again in rapid succession. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
- After these stops, drive your vehicle for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without overheating the brakes and without stopping completely. This allows for proper cooling.
- Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use the brakes normally. Avoid using water to cool the brakes, as this can cause damage.
