What Powerbrake kit is right for you?

Choosing the right brake upgrade depends on how you use your vehicle, how much weight you carry, and how hard your braking system has to work.

That’s why Powerbrake offers three distinct upgrade levels:

D-LINE Disc & Pad Kits | OEM+ Performance
Our premium disc and pad upgrade for drivers who want improved braking consistency, heat management and confidence while retaining the factory caliper. Ideal for everyday 4x4 use, touring, towing and moderately loaded vehicles.

M-LINE Caliper Upgrade kits | Enhanced Performance
A performance caliper upgrade that replaces your factory calipers, for drivers looking for improved pedal feel, increased pad area and more consistent braking under higher loads and more demanding driving conditions. A Modular add-on to our D-Line range.

X-LINE Big Brake Kits | Flagship Level
Our complete big brake kit for serious 4x4 applications. Featuring Powerbrake multi-piston calipers, larger high-performance curved vane rotors, matched pads and application-specific components, X-Line is designed for heavily loaded vehicles, towing, overlanding and demanding terrain where maximum heat capacity and braking consistency matter.

Whether you need a smarter replacement for the factory setup or a full braking system upgrade, there’s a Powerbrake solution built for the job.

D-Line. M-Line. X-Line. Choose the level that matches your vehicle.

The journey does not end when the road becomes steep, the vehicle becomes heavily loaded or the terrain becomes demanding.

That is when your braking system matters most.

Powerbrake X-Line systems are engineered for loaded 4x4s, towing, overlanding and demanding driving conditions, helping drivers maintain consistent braking performance where confidence matters most.

Whatever the destination, arrive with confidence.
The world leaders in 4WD brakes.

A quality brake upgrade should not only perform better.
It should feel better.

Powerbrake X-Line systems are developed to deliver predictable pedal response, consistent performance and greater driver confidence in everyday driving, towing, overlanding and demanding terrain.

The result is control you can feel every time you press the pedal.

Loaded vehicles, long descents, towing and repeated heavy braking can generate serious heat.

That is where consistent braking performance matters most.

Powerbrake X-Line systems are engineered to manage demanding operating conditions while maintaining predictable response and confidence behind the wheel.
Because the real test of a brake system is not the first stop.

It is the stops that follow.

A high-performance brake upgrade is only as strong as the way its components work together, and with your vehicle.

Powerbrake X-Line systems combine our multi-piston calipers, matched brake pads and directional slotted rotors into one fully engineered package. Every component is selected to complement the next, giving you more consistent response, better heat management and dependable braking performance.

Because real performance does not come from one component.
It comes from the complete system.

NEW POWERBRAKE KIT FITTED? PLEASE DON’T SKIP THE BEDDING-IN PROCESS.

The bedding-in process is what allows the pad and disc surfaces to establish proper contact and create the correct transfer film on the disc face. This thin layer of pad material is a key part of achieving consistent braking performance, good pedal feel, reduced noise and long disc and pad life.

Step 1: First 300 km
Drive moderately for approximately 300 km after fitment.

During this period:
Use medium brake pedal pressure
Do not test the full performance of the new brakes yet
Avoid hard braking unless it is an emergency
Do not drag the brakes or left-foot brake
Remember that long open-road trips do not really count, because the brakes are not being used often enough

This first stage allows the pads and discs to establish proper surface contact.

Step 2: Controlled heat cycle
After the first 300 km, find a safe, quiet road with no traffic behind you.

Drive slowly for a few kilometres and use the brakes gently to bring them up to moderate temperature. This helps avoid thermal shock.

Then perform 6-8 hard braking applications from freeway speeds down to around 20 to 30 km/h.

Do not bring the vehicle to a complete stop during this process.

Between each stop, accelerate back to freeway speed as safely and quickly as possible. The goal is to build heat into the discs and pads in a controlled way.
You may feel the brake performance reduce slightly and you may notice a little smoke from the pads. This can be normal during bedding-in.

Step 3: Cool them properly
After the bedding stops, drive for at least 10 km using the brakes as little as possible. This allows airflow to cool the discs and pads evenly.
Then park the vehicle and let the brakes cool completely, ideally for at least 30 minutes.

Do not sit stationary with very hot brakes clamped under heavy pedal pressure.

Why this matters
Incorrect bedding-in can lead to poor pad filming, reduced performance, increased noise, brake judder and uneven deposits on the disc surface.

Correct bedding-in helps your Powerbrake kit deliver the performance, pedal feel and consistency it was designed for.
