Construction & Design:

The Z26 brake pads feature a high-quality ceramic friction material enhanced with carbon-fiber reinforcement. This combination strengthens the compound, allowing it to withstand the rigors of street performance driving while maintaining a low dust output. The backing plates are powder coated to prevent corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity over time. Additionally, the multi-layer stainless-steel shims serve to dissipate heat effectively and reduce vibration, contributing to quieter braking and longer pad life.

Precision manufacturing techniques, including positive mold technology, guarantee consistent wear patterns and reliable braking performance throughout the lifespan of the pads. The chamfered edges and slots are carefully engineered to reduce noise and prevent uneven pad wear.

The carbon-fiber ceramic formula ensures smooth engagement and consistent pedal feel, while the multi-layer shims and chamfered design virtually eliminate brake squeal and chatter.
