• Multi-layer rubberized shims that minimize brake noise for a quieter ride
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included for optimal pad and rotor performance
• Complete kit engineered to work together, ensuring balanced braking, improved durability, and reduced dust
• Bolt-on upgrade requiring no modifications to factory brake components

Construction & Design:

The Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit is crafted with high-quality materials to meet the demands of heavy-duty trucks like the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500. The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads utilize a proprietary compound that enhances friction and heat dissipation while minimizing dust and wear. These pads are paired with rotors that feature precision-drilled holes and slots, which help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade.

All rotors are zinc-plated to resist corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments. The stainless-steel hardware included in the kit further protects against rust and maintains secure, reliable brake assembly over time. Multi-layer rubberized shims reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smooth and quiet braking experience.

Performance & Sound

The combination of Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors significantly improves braking response and stopping power compared to standard OEM components. The low-dust pad formulation keeps wheels cleaner, reducing maintenance and enhancing appearance. Additionally, the multi-layer shims and premium hardware work together to virtually eliminate brake noise, delivering a refined and confident braking feel.
