What makes the Z26 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z26 pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound. This formulation is designed to dissipate heat better than typical ceramic pads, which helps maintain stopping power at higher speeds and under more demanding conditions.

Will this kit require any modifications to my Subaru Forester?

No, this PowerStop Z26 Street Warrior Brake Upgrade Kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for your stock brakes. No modifications are necessary for installation.

How much dust can I expect from these brake pads?

Third-party tests conducted in Los Angeles showed that these pads produce, on average, 30% less dust compared to original equipment (OE) pads. This means less frequent cleaning of your wheels.

Product Details

The Z26 Street Warrior Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is a solid choice for your 2019-2022 Subaru Forester, especially if you're looking for an improvement over stock braking performance. This kit is built around drilled and slotted rotors, which are designed to help dissipate heat more effectively than standard rotors. This means you get more consistent stopping power, even under harder use.

Paired with these rotors are PowerStop's Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads. These pads are formulated to handle higher temperatures and offer a noticeable improvement in stopping distance, particularly at higher speeds. They're also designed to produce less dust than many OE pads, so your wheels stay cleaner for longer. The kit includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature lubricant, making it a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that doesn't require any modifications to your Forester's stock setup.
