Why the Full Front Overhaul with Red Calipers

• Red powder-coated calipers — real visual upgrade through open-spoke wheels; the "shows through the wheel" look Ram 1500 owners want
• Powder coat vs paint — durable finish that resists brake dust etching and road grime
• Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic pads — 30-40 percent more heat capacity than stock ceramic; holds bite under sustained braking
• Drilled and slotted rotors — sheds heat and gas buildup faster than plain rotors, keeps pad transfer even under sustained work
• Silver Zinc Dichromate rotor plating — corrosion resistance on hat and vanes
• One-box comprehensive job — no separate ordering of calipers, rotors, and pads

Install Notes

• Ships in multiple boxes — expect 2-3 packages
• Torque caliper bracket bolts per Ram 1500 3rd-gen service spec (typically 100-125 ft-lb bracket)
• Silicone caliper grease on slider pins — not chassis grease
• Bench-bleed each caliper before install
• Do NOT clean red coating with abrasive brake cleaner — mild soap and water only after install
• Never re-use the old brake hose — internal rubber delaminates after 15+ years, common failure on 3rd-gen Ram
• Bed pads: 8-10 medium stops from 40 to 10 mph, then 2-3 harder stops from 60 to 15 mph, air-cool between

Warranty and Shipping

• Power Stop manufacturer warranty (typically 90-day on calipers)
• Free shipping (order well over $75 threshold)
• Same-day shipping on in-stock orders placed before 2 PM Eastern
• 30-day return policy on unopened parts
