What exactly is included in the rear KOE4714 kit?

The kit delivers a full rear brake service in one shipment so you won’t need to hunt for extra components. Each kit contains two Z17 ceramic brake pads, two OE-style rear rotors, rubberized shims, and stainless-steel installation hardware for a complete replacement.

• Two rear Z17 ceramic brake pads with chamfers and slots for quiet operation
• Two OE replacement rear rotors, precision mill-balanced
• Rubberized shims to reduce vibration and noise
• Stainless-steel installation hardware for corrosion resistance and easy installation

How will Z17 ceramic pads affect noise, dust, and braking feel?

Z17 pads are formulated to cut brake dust and minimize noise compared with many metallic compounds, while retaining consistent friction characteristics for everyday driving. They’re chamfered and slotted to shorten break-in time and help maintain steady pedal feel under normal driving conditions.

• Low-dust ceramic compound helps keep wheels cleaner between washes
• Rubberized shims and chamfered edges reduce squeal and vibration
• Slotted pad faces improve debris removal and speed break-in

Do the included rotors restore factory ride and reduce vibration?

The kit’s rotors are OE-style replacements machined to balance and surface tolerances that aim to restore the original ride quality. Precision milling helps ensure a consistent contact surface that reduces pedal pulsing and vibration when installed correctly.

• Non-coated, mill-balanced rotors made to OE specifications
• Smooth surface finish to aid even pad transfer and braking consistency
• Designed for a direct fit with supplied hardware—no modifications required

How difficult is installation and what tools/hardware are provided?

Installation is designed to be straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic brake service; the kit is bolt-on with no vehicle modifications required. All necessary stainless-steel hardware and rubberized shims are included, so you can complete the job without sourcing additional mounting parts.

• Complete stainless-steel hardware kit included for rear fitment
• No machining, re-drilling, or special adapters required—direct replacement parts
• Typical hand tools and a torque wrench recommended for safe installation

Who is this product for?
