What makes the Z17 pads different from standard OE replacements?

Z17 pads are formulated as a ceramic upgrade that mimics OE fit and function but adds low-dust properties and multi-layer shims for quieter operation. They include chamfers and slots to manage bedding and reduce noise during the break-in period.

• Ceramic compound engineered for reduced dust and stable friction.
• Rubberized multi-layer shims to dampen vibration and minimize squeal.
• Chamfered and slotted faces for faster break-in and even pad wear.
• Stainless-steel hardware included for a complete bolt-on replacement.

How do these pads perform day-to-day in city and highway driving?

Designed for daily driving, the Z17 pads deliver consistent, quiet braking under normal commuting and highway conditions. They are not race compounds; instead they prioritize smooth engagement and reliable stopping for street use.

• Predictable bite and fade resistance for routine stops.
• Low-dust formula helps keep wheels cleaner between washes.
• Slots and chamfers encourage even wear and reduce glazing.
• Thermal scorching during manufacturing aids quicker, uniform break-in.
