PowerStop Front Brake Pads for Honda Accord 2013-25 & HR‑V 2016-22 — Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Low-Dust Quiet Stops with Hardware

PowerStop Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic front brake pads are a direct-fit replacement for specified Honda Accord and HR-V models, delivering quieter stops, reduced brake dust, and improved everyday braking performance with included stainless-steel installation hardware.

These Z23 Evolution Sport pads are engineered to upgrade standard OE stopping feel for daily drivers who want a noticeable improvement without altering vehicle systems. Built from a low-dust ceramic compound reinforced with carbon fiber and finished with powder-coated backing plates, the set is supplied with premium stainless-steel hardware so you can complete a bolt-on install without modifications.

How will these pads affect everyday stopping and noise?

The Z23 compound is formulated to deliver firmer, more consistent stopping for normal driving while minimizing the high-pitched squeal associated with some performance materials. Rubberized shims plus chamfered, slotted faces reduce vibration and harsh feedback so braking feels smooth and quiet at parking-lot speeds and highway decelerations.

• Carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic blend for stable friction levels
• Rubberized anti-noise shims help eliminate squeal
• Chamfers and slots reduce edge cracking and vibration

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner and resist fade?

The low-dust ceramic formula produces significantly less residue than many metallic pads, helping wheels stay cleaner between washes. Thermal resistance and fade control are improved over typical OE compounds, so braking remains predictable during repeated stops in everyday driving situations.

• Low-dust construction reduces wheel soiling
• Durable friction material resists fade under normal use
• Powder-coated backing plates protect against corrosion
