- Two drilled-and-slotted rear brake rotors
- One complete rear-axle set of Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads
- Two red powder-coated rear brake calipers
- Rear caliper mounting brackets

Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Inspect the brake hoses and parking-brake components during installation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures for installing the calipers, bleeding the hydraulic system and tightening all fasteners.
Install each directional rotor in its marked position and complete PowerStop’s specified pad-and-rotor break-in procedure. Proper bedding helps establish an even friction-transfer layer and supports smooth braking performance.
