PowerStop Rear Brake Pads Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic for Cadillac CTS & Chevrolet Camaro — rear kit with stainless installation hard

PowerStop Z26 rear carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads are a direct-fit performance upgrade that deliver stronger, lower-dust stopping power and include stainless-steel installation hardware for a bolt-on replacement.

These Z26 Street Warrior pads from PowerStop are engineered for muscle cars and high-horsepower vehicles that need dependable, repeatable braking on the street. The pads use a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic formula with a thermal-scorched surface for quicker break-in and improved thermal stability, and the kit supplies stainless-steel mounting hardware so you can install them without extra parts. They are offered as a rear pad kit that fits a long list of Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Tesla, and other performance models.

How will these pads change my everyday braking feel?

You should notice a firmer, more immediate pedal response and shorter stopping distances compared with many stock compounds, especially on heavier or tuned vehicles. The Z26 formula emphasizes high friction under load while minimizing brake dust for cleaner wheels.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic compound for aggressive street braking
• Thermal-scorched surface for fast, even bed-in
• Lower dust output than many semi-metallic pads
• Consistent torque across repeated stops

Are these pads easy to install myself?

Yes — the kit is designed as a direct-fit replacement with no modifications required. PowerStop includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you get the clips and shims needed to mount the pads properly.

• All necessary rear hardware included for a do-it-yourself swap
• Stainless-steel pieces resist corrosion for longer service life
• No machining, adapters, or special tools required beyond standard brake tools

Will these pads handle spirited driving and higher temperatures?

The Z26 pads are tuned for high-heat stability common to muscle cars and performance builds. Their carbon-fiber reinforcement and ceramic matrix help resist fade during repeated aggressive stops, making them better suited than typical OE street pads for demanding driving.

• Improved thermal stability for repeat stops
• Designed to work with drilled/slotted rotors for heat dispersion
• Powder-coated backing plates reduce corrosion under stress

Which vehicles do these rear pads fit and what comes in the box?

This specific PowerStop Z26-1053 kit fits a wide range of rear applications including Cadillac CTS/STS models, Chevrolet Camaro and SS, numerous Dodge Challenger and Charger configurations, Chrysler 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT variants, Tesla Model S/X with certain calipers, and other high-performance cars. The package includes the pair of Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic rear pads plus stainless-steel installation hardware.

• Complete rear pad upgrade: two carbon-fiber ceramic pads and hardware
• Compatibility list spans many Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Tesla models
• Backed by a 12 month / 12,000 mile limited Performance Protection Warranty

Who is this for? If you drive a muscle car, performance sedan, or a high-horsepower modified vehicle and you want a reliable, low-dust pad with stronger stopping power than most factory compounds, the PowerStop Z26 rear kit is targeted at you. It’s especially appropriate for drivers who expect repeat aggressive stops, want a direct-fit do-it-yourself upgrade, or who value reduced wheel contamination and corrosion-resistant hardware for longer service life.

Important fitment note: Always confirm fitment for your exact year, model, brake option, and rotor size before purchasing using the vehicle compatibility checker or the product description, as multiple variants and brake kits can affect fit.
