1997-2003 Ford F150 4WD PowerStop Z23 Front Brake Kit | K1866

Better All-Around Braking Performance

Your 1997-2003 F150s front brakes that were originally installed at the factory are "so-so" at best and, depending on how many miles you've tacked on, you're probably due for a replacement. If you drive your F150 hard or use it for some off-road action, this front brake kit from Power Stop is a great upgrade to consider. This overhaul of your truck's front braking components includes new drilled and slotted rotors and high-performance Z23 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads that improve stopping power with reduced noise, dust, and wear. This complete front brake kit from Power Stop is the perfect solution for 4WD F150 trucks that need a little extra boost in braking performance at a low price.

Reduced Brake Fade With Drilled & Slotted Rotors

The (2) drilled and slotted front rotors that come in this package are constructed out of heavy-duty cast iron and feature a zinc chromate finish for protection against corrosion. The rotors are carefully designed with cross-drilled holes on their surfaces that lead directly down into their internal directional vanes which allow for optimal heat dissipation to reduce fade under heavy and consistent braking. Power Stop's rotors also have machined slots on their surface that clear away dust and debris from the contact area for improved bite and more consistent operation. The specialized design of these rotors help reduce braking system temperatures by up to 180 degrees which helps improve braking when towing and hauling.

Improved Stopping Power With Ceramic Pads

Power Stop Z23 ceramic front brake pads are some of their most popular pad options and are designed to improve braking performance without causing excess NVH, brake dust, or rotor wear. Power Stop manufactures these pads with a special carbon-ceramic friction compound that offers up to a 20% improvement in stopping power over factory OE brake pads. The (2) pads included in this kit are built using a positive-molding process that leaves a level distribution of brake compound over their entire area for more even braking and wear. Power Stop thermal-scorches their Z23 pads after production which reduces break-in time and gives them excellent performance right out of the box.

Fitment: 1997-2003 Ford F-150 - 4WD ONLY.

This brake kit will only fit trucks with 5-lug hubs.

Power Stop Extreme Bedding Note: The break in procedure is critical to brake performance. The reason for a proper break in is to establish an even layer of friction material deposited on the rotors from the brake pads. It is very important that this initial layer of friction material is evenly distributed. Break in the pads as follows: 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool and do not come to a complete stop. Then do 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool. You should expect to smell some resin as the brakes get hot. After this is complete, drive around for as long as possible without excessively heating the brakes and without coming to a complete stop (Try for about 5 minutes at moderate speed). This is the cooling stage. It allows the heated resin in the brake pads to cool and cure. After the brakes have cooled to standard operating temperature, you may use the brakes normally.

Warranty: This kit comes backed with a 3-Year/36,000 Mile Warranty
