What is included with these brake pads?

This kit includes the PowerStop Z26 Extreme Street front brake pads, premium installation hardware, and a packet of ceramic brake lubricant to help with installation.

How do these pads reduce brake dust?

The Z26 pads use a special low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon-fiber. This compound is designed to produce significantly less dust compared to standard brake pads, and this was verified in third-party testing.

Are these pads noisy?

PowerStop uses multi-layer stainless-steel shims in these pads, which are designed to help dissipate heat and virtually eliminate noise during braking.

Product Details

When you're ready to tackle the brakes on your 2001-2005 BMW 525i, this Z26 Extreme Street Brake Pad set from PowerStop is what you get in the box: the front brake pads themselves, along with premium installation hardware and a packet of ceramic brake lubricant. These aren't just standard replacement pads; they're designed as an upgrade to give you more stopping power than your stock pads, especially if you drive a performance-oriented vehicle like your 525i.

The secret to their performance is the carbon-fiber ceramic compound. This material is infused with carbon-fiber, which strengthens the pad and helps it handle higher temperatures without fading. PowerStop also uses multi-layer stainless-steel shims, which help dissipate heat and keep things quiet, so you shouldn't expect any annoying brake squeal. The backing plates are powder-coated to resist rust, and the pads are thermal-scorched to speed up the break-in process, meaning they'll start performing at their best sooner after installation.

Because this kit includes the necessary premium hardware and lubricant, it makes the installation process smoother. Just be sure to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the correct procedure and any specific torque values.
