The Z36 brake pads feature a robust carbon-fiber ceramic compound that balances aggressive stopping power with low dust and noise characteristics. The powder-coated backing plates provide excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity and performance over time. Multi-layer stainless-steel shims improve heat management and reduce vibration, which translates to quieter braking. The chamfered and slotted pad surface design further enhances braking smoothness and helps dissipate heat evenly, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy towing or off-road use.
