This R1 Brake Kit is designed for drivers seeking increased brake performance over OE with the utmost in corrosion protection.
Features:
GEO-Carbon Series Rotors feature a high carbon content for added strength, stability, durability and performance
Diamond slots remove brake and road debris to prevent pad glazing and counter-sunk drilled holes reduce heat buildup on the rotor
Geomet coating provides superior corrosion protection over zinc / conventional painting
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) formulation brake pads are constructed to be the same or better in terms of longevity, performance, noise and dust
Brake pad underlayer minimizes heat transfer from the pad to the caliper, reducing the possibility of fluid boil
Included hardware reduces noise/vibration and prevents premature pad wear
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
Attention California Customers - This product contains Antimony Oxide and other chemicals which is known in the State of California to cause cancer ( or reproductive problems).
