Key Features

• Complete front kit: Includes one front ceramic brake pad set and two front rotors to replace both sides at once for balanced braking performance.

• Ceramic friction material: Positive molded ceramic pads provide reduced dust and quieter operation compared with many semi-metallic pads.
• Vented rotor design: Rotors use a vented construction and a G3000 casting alloy to help reduce noise and improve wear resistance under load.
• Pre-assembled convenience: Components are prepared for installation to save time and effort during a DIY brake service.
