Power Stop 10-13 Audi A3 Rear Z26 Extreme Street Brake Pads w/Hardware

The carbon-fiber ceramic compound in these PowerStop Z26 brake pads is a notable step up from stock, designed to handle the demands of performance vehicles and muscle cars. This formula is specifically chosen to offer extreme stopping power while also keeping brake dust to a minimum, making them a great choice for drivers who want improved performance without the constant cleanup. These pads fit a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi A4, offering a significant upgrade for many popular cars.

Beyond the compound, these pads feature multi-layer stainless-steel shims that help dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance, especially during harder stops. They also come with premium stainless-steel hardware and a ceramic brake lubricant, simplifying the installation process and ensuring the pads operate quietly. The powder-coated backing plate is there to resist rust and corrosion, extending the life of the pads, and the thermal-scorched surface means they're ready to go with a fast break-in period.
