PowerStop Front Ceramic Brake Pads for Enclave/XT5/XT6/Blazer/Traverse 2018–20 — Z17 Low-Dust Quiet with Hardware

PowerStop Z17 Evolution front ceramic brake pads are a direct-fit OE-plus replacement offering quiet, low-dust braking and included stainless steel hardware for a simple bolt-on installation.

These Z17 ceramic pads are built for everyday drivers who want predictable stopping performance without the noise, high dust, or fuss of specialty race compounds. Designed to match or exceed factory characteristics, the set balances smooth initial feel, dependable pedal modulation, and a cleaner wheel appearance thanks to a clean-ride ceramic formula. Each kit includes premium stainless-steel installation hardware and brake lube so you can swap pads without need for extra parts.

How do these pads perform during typical city and highway driving?

The Z17 compound focuses on consistent, linear braking suitable for commuting, errands, and longer road trips. Thermal scouring during manufacture helps ensure a quicker break-in and stabilized friction over normal operating temperatures.

• Engineered for predictable bite and modulation in stop-and-go and sustained speeds
• Chamfered and slotted faces reduce noise and help shed gas build-up under load
• Ceramic formulation produces less visible brake dust for cleaner wheels
• Designed to behave like OE pads for familiar pedal feel

What makes installation straightforward for a DIYer?

PowerStop supplies stainless-steel hardware and brake lubricant so you have the essential components for a clean, correct install. The pads are a direct-fit replacement — no machining, shims, or modification required for listed vehicle models.

• Includes 2x front Z17 ceramic pads plus premium stainless mounting hardware

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner and reduce maintenance?

The Z17 pads use a low-dust ceramic formula that minimizes the dark residue often left by semi-metallic compounds. Reduced dust means less frequent wheel cleaning and a neater appearance between service intervals.

• Ceramic compound yields lower visible dust than many metallic pads
• Dual-layer rubberized shims help cut vibration that causes noise and uneven wear
• Consistent wear characteristics help extend time between pad changes
• Clean-ride chemistry aims to keep wheel faces cleaner under daily driving
