What is the main benefit of the Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads?

The Z26 pads are formulated with carbon-fiber ceramic material, which enhances heat dissipation compared to typical ceramic pads. This allows for better stopping power, especially at high speeds, and helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help my brakes?

The drilled holes and slots in the rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors. They also help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, which can improve braking consistency and reduce noise.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit is designed as a bolt-on upgrade and includes the drilled and slotted rotors, Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, and all necessary stainless-steel installation hardware, along with high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

Product Details

The Z26 Street Warrior Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is built for drivers looking to get more out of their performance vehicle, especially if you've got a bit more horsepower under the hood. This kit is specifically designed for the rear of your 2011-2017 Chevrolet Caprice, and it's a bolt-on replacement for your stock brakes, meaning no modifications are needed for installation.

What makes this kit stand out is the combination of its components. The rotors are drilled and slotted, which helps to dissipate heat and clear away dust and gas, keeping your braking consistent even under heavy use. Paired with these are the proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z26 brake pads. These pads are formulated to handle higher temperatures than standard ceramic pads, offering improved stopping power at speed and validated through testing to produce about 30% less dust than OE pads. The kit also includes stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature lubricant, ensuring everything goes together smoothly and resists the heat generated by spirited driving.

If you're looking to improve your Caprice's stopping performance without a complicated install, this kit offers a solid upgrade. You'll notice a difference in how quickly and confidently you can slow down, and the low-dust pads mean your wheels will stay cleaner for longer.
