The Z26-228 brake pads utilize a specialized low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon fiber, enhancing the compound’s strength and providing exceptional stopping power.

Included with the brake pads is a set of premium hardware and ceramic brake lubricant, facilitating a straightforward installation process and ensuring optimal pad performance and longevity. The hardware kit supports proper pad alignment and secure fitment, while the lubricant reduces brake squeal and wear, reinforcing the overall quality of the braking system upgrade.
