PowerStop's Z23 Evolution Sport pads use a Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound that raises braking power over stock ceramic while cutting the heavy dust these large SUVs throw onto a wheel, a low-dust result confirmed in third-party on-vehicle testing. Multi-layer rubberized shims damp the vibration behind the pad to keep braking near silent, and positive mold construction holds friction density even for flat wear across a tall, heavy vehicle's duty cycle. Powder-coated backing plates resist rust, the pads are chamfered and slotted, and the friction face is thermally scorched for a fast bed-in. Premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are included.
