Construction & Design:
The Z17 Evolution Plus pads feature a ceramic friction material that balances strong stopping power with low dust generation, keeping your wheels cleaner compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The powder-coated backing plates protect against corrosion, which is especially important in varying climates and road conditions. The pads’ positive mold manufacturing process ensures precise dimensions and consistent contact with the rotor, promoting even wear and dependable braking feel over time.
Additionally, the thermal scorched surface treatment accelerates the bedding-in process, allowing you to experience optimal brake performance shortly after installation without extended break-in periods.
