Why Choose the Z17 Clean Ride System?

The Z17 series was developed for drivers who want factory-level comfort with modern improvements in braking performance and maintenance.

Key Benefits

• Quiet braking operation

Genuine GEOMET Coated Rotors

One of the biggest advantages of the CRK8308 kit is its Genuine GEOMET rotor coating.

What Makes GEOMET Different?

Unlike traditional bare-metal brake rotors, GEOMET-coated rotors receive corrosion protection across the entire rotor surface.

This includes:

• Non-friction surfaces

Benefits Include

• Better rust resistance
• Longer rotor life
• Cleaner appearance
• Improved durability in wet climates
• Enhanced protection from road salt and moisture

The silver finish helps maintain a factory-fresh appearance behind modern alloy wheels.

Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The included Z17 Clean Ride ceramic pads are specifically designed to reduce brake dust without sacrificing braking performance.

Advantages of Ceramic Pads

• Cleaner wheels
• Reduced brake dust accumulation
• Longer service life
• Consistent braking performance
• Lower maintenance requirements

Independent third-party testing has validated the low-dust characteristics of the Z17 compound.
