Key Features:

PowerStop’s Z26 brake pads incorporate cutting-edge technology and premium components to optimize braking efficiency and durability. Key features include:

• Carbon-fiber infused ceramic formula for enhanced stopping power and heat resistance
• Low-dust compound verified through third-party on-vehicle testing to keep wheels cleaner
• Multi-layer stainless-steel shims that improve heat dissipation and reduce brake noise
• Powder-coated backing plates that resist rust and corrosion for extended pad life
• Chamfered and slotted pad design to minimize noise and ensure smooth braking
• Thermally scorched pad surface for rapid break-in and consistent performance
• Includes premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant for hassle-free installation

Construction & Design:

The Z26 brake pads feature a robust ceramic compound enhanced with carbon-fiber to provide a balance of aggressive stopping power and quiet operation. The ceramic material is engineered to generate minimal dust, preserving wheel aesthetics and reducing maintenance. Backing plates are powder-coated to prevent corrosion, ensuring the pads maintain structural integrity over time.

Advanced positive mold technology guarantees uniform pad thickness and consistent wear, while the multi-layer stainless-steel shims act as a thermal barrier to dissipate heat efficiently and suppress vibration, resulting in a quieter braking experience.

Performance & Sound

Designed specifically for street-driven muscle cars and performance vehicles, the Z26 pads deliver confident, fade-resistant braking under everyday and spirited driving conditions. The carbon-fiber ceramic formula provides quick response and strong bite without the harshness or noise commonly associated with performance pads. Chamfered edges and slots further reduce brake squeal and ensure smooth engagement, making these pads an excellent choice for drivers seeking both performance and comfort.

PowerStop includes premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant with every set of Z26 pads, simplifying the installation process and ensuring optimal pad performance. These front brake pads are designed to fit a wide range of Chrysler and Dodge models, including the Chrysler 300 (2005–2022), Dodge Challenger (2009–2023), Dodge Charger (2006–2023), and Dodge Magnum (2005–2008), making them a direct replacement for factory components with no modifications required.
