PowerStop - Z26 Performance Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit

The carbon-fiber ceramic compound in these PowerStop Z26 brake pads is a key detail, offering a stronger material than standard ceramic pads. This means you get a significant boost in stopping power, which is great for performance vehicles like your Mazda MX-5 Miata or Fiat 124 Spider. They're designed to handle the demands of spirited driving while also keeping brake dust to a minimum, so your wheels stay cleaner for longer.

Beyond the pad material itself, PowerStop includes multi-layer stainless-steel shims. These help dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during harder stops. They also work to virtually eliminate noise, giving you a quieter ride. The backing plate is powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, helping these pads last. Everything you need for installation, including premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant, comes in the box, making the job straightforward.

With a thermal-scorched surface for a quick break-in period and positive mold technology for consistent wear, these pads are built for reliable performance. They are a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your braking performance beyond the factory setup.
