Don’t overpay a dealer for traditional brake parts when you can get superior benefits of ceramic pads and cross-drilled rotors in the PowerStop 1-Click Brake kit. These components are used in racing and offer better stopping power, longer life, reduced brake fade, and lower dust buildup compared to original equipment parts. Power Stop brake replacement components are manufactured to tight tolerances so fit and function is never compromised on your vehicle. 2-year/24,000 mile manufacturer warranty.

Features:

• Kit includes pads and rotors for front and rear wheels
• Pads, rotors and clips are designed in the precise size and shape of factory OEM parts for proper fit and operation
• Superior ceramic pad compounds resist heat buildup, dust, and squealing
• Ceramic pad compounds wear slower and last longer than OEM equipment
• Reduced heat buildup eliminates brake fading that occurs when brake fluid reaches boiling temperature
• Includes rotors that are cross-drilled and slotted for more effective cooling under heavy use
• Advanced brake pad compounds produce less dust than OEM factory brake pads
• Brake pads and rotors offer eliminate squealing under the most extreme cold or hot temperatures
• 2-year/24,000 mile manufacturer limited warranty

Factory original brake pads are made of metallic compounds featuring a large percentage of steel wool. As they grip steel rotors to create the friction that allows your vehicle to stop, abrasive wear is significant. Rotors wear down faster and the metal scraping from steel fibers can cause loud squealing that varies with temperature variations and weather conditions. When driven hard, metallic brake pads can generate excess heat buildup to cause the formation of grip-reducing hot spots on brake rotors. Many automakers that develop high performance models capable of high speeds will attempt to offset these disadvantages by reducing the metal content in brake pads, creating a softer material that grips better at fast speeds with less noise. However, these soft brake pads wear out faster and produce large amounts of visible black dust that soils aluminum wheels and ultimately becomes corrosive to finishes applied on them.

Power Stop offers a solution to the woes of underperforming factory brake parts with the 1-Click Front and Rear Brake Kit. It features brake pads made of ceramic compounds instead of traditional metallic ones, and comes complete with rotors that are cross-drilled and grooved for superior heat disbursement. Used in championship racing where 200 mile-per-hour speeds quickly generate blistering heat, ceramic brake pads offer the natural ability to stay cool under the most severe conditions. When ceramic brake pads are combined with perforated rotors, heat buildup is reduced so extensively that brake fade rarely occurs due to fluid reaching boiling temperature. Ceramic brake pads are far quieter due to their higher resonant frequency undetectable by human ears, so squealing is not an issue. And finally, ceramic compounds last longer and produce finer, less obtrusive dust that does not stick to most wheel surfaces.

While the many advantages of ceramic brake pads and cross-drilled brake rotors typically come at a high cost, CARiD offers you the superior all-around performance of these parts with value-priced kits from Power Stop, a leading high-volume manufacturer of brake components since the 1990s. You don’t need a high-performance vehicle to enjoy the benefits these brake kits offer, and you might find your dealer charging a similar price while giving you less.
