What makes the Z26 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z26 pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound. This formulation is designed to dissipate heat more effectively than typical ceramic pads, which helps maintain consistent stopping power, especially during high-speed driving or repeated braking.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install this kit?

No, this kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for your stock rear brakes. You will not need to make any modifications to your vehicle for installation. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details.

How does the zinc plating on the rotors help?

The zinc plating on the rotors provides a protective layer against rust and corrosion. This is particularly helpful in areas with road salt or high humidity, helping to maintain the appearance and function of the rotors.

Product Details

PowerStop is known for making it straightforward for any driver to get better brakes, no matter how they use their car. This Z26 Street Warrior kit is a solid choice for performance vehicles like your 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, especially if you've got a bit more horsepower under the hood or enjoy spirited driving. It's designed to give you shorter stopping distances when you really need them.

This kit bundles everything you need for an easy bolt-on upgrade. You get drilled and slotted rotors, which help with cooling and clearing out dust and gas, paired with their proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic pads. These pads are formulated to handle higher temperatures and produce less dust than stock pads, so your wheels stay cleaner. The rotors are also zinc-plated to help prevent rust, keeping things looking good and working well.

You'll find stainless-steel hardware included, which is built to withstand the higher temperatures common in performance applications. This kit is a direct replacement for your stock rear brakes, meaning no modifications are needed for installation.
