Power Stop 04-11 Mazda RX-8 Rear Z26 Extreme Street Brake Pads w/Hardware

When you're looking to get more out of your Mazda RX-8's braking system, especially for spirited driving, the PowerStop Z26 Extreme Street brake pads are a solid choice for the rear. These aren't your average pads; they're built with a special carbon-fiber ceramic compound that's designed to handle more heat and provide a stronger bite than stock pads.

What's neat about this Z26 compound is that it's formulated to significantly reduce brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner, and it's also engineered to run quietly. The pads feature multi-layer stainless-steel shims that help dissipate heat, which is crucial for consistent stopping performance, especially when you're pushing the car a bit. Plus, the backing plate is powder-coated to resist rust, helping these pads last longer. They even come with new stainless-steel hardware and a packet of ceramic brake lubricant, making the installation process smoother.

This kit includes everything you need to get these performance pads installed on your RX-8's rear axle. The thermal scorching on the pad surface means they're ready to go with a fast break-in, so you can feel the improved stopping power sooner.
