ZRP X3 Big Brake Kit Install Instructions
This install is complex and takes 4-6 hours, if you are not comfortable with it, we recommend having a dealer or race shop install.
*This kit ships with an aggressive pad designed for high temperature ranges. Failure to get pads up to temp may result in premature wear of the pads and rotors. If you are not using this kit in a race application please contact us prior to purchasing so we can accommodate your setup.
Parts Included in Kit
Installing The Master Cylinder
-
Remove the stock master cylinder and stock brake lines.
-
The fittings and plugs are LOOSELY installed in the right configuration, you will need to Loctite and tighten them.

You will need to install the custom pushrod, We recommend putting grease on the pushrod and hole and using the dust seal, this will need be installed after the master is mounted. You will reuse the stock clevis and jam nut to attach to the pedal, you will need to adjust to the proper position once install is complete

Install the rotor to the adapter with the floating bolt hardware, the hex size of the bolt should be on the side on the adapter with the ZRP Logo, The floating “Hat” nut should fit in the machine slots on the rotor on the opposite side. We recommend red Loctite and wire tying these bolts. Torque them to 220 Inch-Pounds

Final Assembly Notes
-
You will need to wire the supplied pressure switch into the stock pressure switch harness for Brake lights to work.
-
You will need to fully prime and bleed the system, This can be a lengthy process as the entire system will start with no fluid in it.
-
Verify the lines going into the master are as pictured in reference picture 1, with the front lines going in to the rear most master cylinder port and the rear lines into the front most port. This is critical for proper bias.
-
The rotors may not initially “float” by hand but will wear in and float properly within the first few miles.
