Construction & Design

The Z17 Evolution pads feature a ceramic-based friction material that balances performance and comfort. Ceramic compounds are known for their stability under heat, resistance to wear, and ability to produce minimal brake dust compared to semi-metallic alternatives. The pads are manufactured using OE positive mold technology, ensuring an exact fit to the rotor surface and consistent pad thickness for even wear.

A thermally scorched surface treatment enhances the initial break-in process, reducing the bedding time and helping to prevent uneven pad deposits on the rotor. The included stainless steel hardware is corrosion-resistant, adding to the longevity and reliability of the entire brake assembly.

Performance & Sound

PowerStop’s ceramic formula delivers strong, reliable stopping power suitable for both city driving and light off-road conditions typical of Jeep Wrangler use. The pads are engineered to operate quietly, eliminating common brake noise issues such as squealing or grinding. This ensures a more comfortable driving experience without sacrificing braking effectiveness.

These rear brake pads are designed for direct bolt-on installation on Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 to 2025 with 2.0L Turbo, 3.6L V6, 6.4L 392, and 3.0L EcoDiesel engines. The included stainless steel hardware simplifies the installation process, allowing for a secure fit without the need for additional modifications. Installation can typically be completed with standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge.
