Element3 brake kits by Raybestos are perfect for drivers looking for increased protection against rust related braking problems. Built to endure the harshest weather conditions, each Element3 kit includes a pair of Element3 Enhanced Hybrid Technology brake pads and a pair of Element3 coated rotors.
Features & Benefits:
- Rotors feature a proprietary finishing technology that coats each rotor's entire surface, including the cooling vanes for optimal airflow and cooling
- Grey Fusion 4.0™ coating helps resist corrosion and significantly delays rust-induced performance issues
- Enhanced Hybrid Technology pads feature the best attributes of ceramic and semi-metallic all in one pad
- Pads offer unparalleled performance and reliability and improved pad wear and durability
- Pads include multi-layer shims and stainless steel hardware (where applicable) for maximum noise damping
Installation Tips
- Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
- Before installing the rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
- Apply brake lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
- Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
- Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
- After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
