PowerStop - Z23 Daily Driver Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit

When it's time to replace the rear brake pads on your 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8, the PowerStop Z23 Evolution Sport pads are a solid choice for an improved daily driver experience. These aren't just stock replacements; they're designed to give you better stopping performance while keeping your wheels cleaner.

The Z23 pads use a special carbon-fiber ceramic formula. This means they offer increased braking power compared to standard pads, but without making your car harder to drive day-to-day. They're also made with a low-dust formulation, which independent testing has confirmed, so you'll notice less brake dust on your wheels. To make installation smoother, PowerStop includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware, pin bushings, and ceramic brake lubricant. The backing plates are powder coated to resist rust, and multi-layer shims help keep things quiet.

With these pads, you get a fast break-in thanks to a thermal scorched surface, and the chamfered and slotted design helps ensure noise-free braking. It's a complete package designed to give your RX-8 the stopping power it deserves for everyday driving.
