What is the main benefit of the Z26 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads?

The Z26 pads are made with a Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound that helps dissipate heat more effectively than standard ceramic pads. This leads to improved stopping power, especially during high-speed driving or demanding braking situations.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this is a complete bolt-on upgrade kit. It includes the Z26 brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, powder-coated calipers, stainless-steel installation hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help my Civic's braking?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to vent gases and heat away from the braking surface. This keeps the rotors cooler, which improves braking consistency and can help prevent brake fade under heavy use.

Product Details

The Z26 Street Warrior Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is designed for your 2003-2005 Honda Civic, offering a significant step up from stock braking performance. This kit centers around its proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z26 brake pads, which are formulated to dissipate heat more effectively than standard ceramic pads, leading to better stopping power, especially at higher speeds. The accompanying Drilled & Slotted performance rotors are zinc-plated for rust protection and are engineered to work in unison with the pads to provide maximum cooling and consistent braking under demanding conditions.

This isn't just a set of pads and rotors; it's a complete front-end brake overhaul. The kit includes red powder-coated calipers, which not only add a distinct look behind your wheels but are also protected against corrosion with a high-temperature coating. PowerStop has validated the low-dust performance of these pads through third-party testing, showing a notable reduction in brake dust compared to OE components, meaning cleaner wheels and less frequent cleaning. Stainless-steel pad shims are included to handle the higher temperatures often found in performance applications, and the kit comes with stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant for a straightforward, bolt-on installation without needing modifications to your stock setup.
