Product Details

The carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound in these PowerStop Z26 brake pads is a key detail, offering a significant step up in stopping power compared to stock pads. These are designed for performance vehicles and muscle cars, aiming to reduce brake dust and noise while providing extreme stopping capability. They fit a wide range of BMW models, including the 330Ci, 330i, and 530i, as well as some Land Rover Range Rover models from the mid-2000s.

What sets these pads apart is the blend of carbon-fiber within the ceramic material, which strengthens the compound for better performance under demanding conditions. They also incorporate multi-layer stainless-steel shims, which help dissipate heat more effectively and reduce noise, making for a quieter ride. The backing plate is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, extending the life of the pads. PowerStop includes premium hardware and ceramic brake lubricant in the kit, which simplifies the installation process and ensures everything is ready to go for a clean brake job.

The thermal scorching on the pad surface means they're ready to go right out of the box with a fast break-in period. Positive mold technology ensures consistent wear and performance over the life of the pad.
