• Bolt-on installation requires no modifications, making it an easy upgrade for enthusiasts.

Construction & Design:

The Z26 kit features high-quality drilled and slotted rotors crafted from premium materials to maximize durability and heat dissipation. The drilled holes and precision slots help channel heat and gases away from the rotor surface, reducing brake fade during aggressive driving. The rotors’ zinc plating provides long-lasting corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance over time.

The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads are engineered with a proprietary blend that enhances thermal management, allowing them to maintain consistent friction levels even under demanding conditions. Stainless-steel hardware and shims complement the design by resisting heat-induced wear and minimizing noise, contributing to a smooth and quiet braking experience.

Performance & Sound

The combination of drilled and slotted rotors with Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads delivers shorter stopping distances and improved pedal feel, especially during high-speed or aggressive driving. The low-noise formulation of the pads ensures quieter operation compared to many aftermarket options, while the low-dust characteristic reduces wheel cleaning frequency, maintaining your vehicle’s appearance.
