The Z26 pad uses PowerStop's carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic compound, a low-dust friction material formulated to keep its bite under the heat a heavy performance sedan generates. Multi-layer stainless-steel shims sit behind the backing plate to move heat away from the friction surface and keep the brakes quiet, while the powder coated backing plate resists the rust and corrosion that shortens pad life. Every pad is chamfered, slotted and thermally scorched at the factory, so it beds in fast and runs noise free, and positive mold construction keeps wear even across the friction face. Premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are supplied for a bolt-on brake job.
