Polaris Ranger parking brakes work great off the showroom floor and for awhile afterward – as long as you steer clear of deep mud and water. We've found that mud, sand/grit, and even sand in muddy water can easily get trapped between the pads and rotors, eating away at the brake pads on our Ranger. Unfortunately, most don't notice that their parking brake pads are worn down until the most inconvenient time – when you need to park on an incline.
Whether you're loading, transporting or parking your Ranger on a hill, the parking brake is one essential component you can't afford to malfunction. The High Lifter Bronze Alloy Ranger Parking Brake Pads are designed to withstand mud and dirt that causes accelerated deterioration of stock brake pads and provide much longer service in mud.
Stock parking brake pads are made from automotive grade brake materials that wear quickly when exposed to near constant contact with mud and dirt trapped between the brake pad and the rotor. The High Lifter Bronze Alloy Ranger Parking Brake Pads are made from machined aluminum bronze which does a much better job of tolerating the harsh elements such as mud, sand/grit, and sandy water.
The High Lifter Bronze Alloy Ranger Parking Brake Pads are an affordable upgrade designed to keep your machine parking like it should, regardless of the conditions you ride in! We have tested this product and found that it provides a heavy duty, High Lifter grade improvement.
Kit includes two (2) custom bronze alloy pads, hardware, and instructions.
Note: Use of bronze alloy parking brake pads may result in some squeaking until the pads brake in and on some occasions before they warm up; this is considered normal.
Note: Never rely solely on parking brake while transporting and always secure properly.
Parking brake holds real well. Don’t know the lifetime of the brake pads yet. Instructions were good.

These things are great easy to install and will keep you locked in position with no rolling! Installed mine in a 2009 Polaris ranger 500 Efi and they work perfectly!

Appears to be a top quality product - expect it to last for yrs. However, in my installation the supplied bolts & lock nuts were contacting the transmission housing, forcing the entire floating assembly to contact the disk (thus not floating). I disassembled the unit & reversed the bolts such that the thinner head protruded past the outer brake pad. To insure that the reversed bolt/nut end did not hit the main stationary bracket before the floating bracket, I ground down the bolt to the same height as the lock nut (flat washer on bolt head end). This allowed the floating bracket to contact the main mounting bracket without the bolt making contact.

Factory parking brake pads only last about two trips .. I am hoping this high lifter products will last a full season
