PowerStop Z17 Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Rear KOE4685 — OE-Fit, Low-Dust Hardware

PowerStop Z17 Replacement Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Rear KOE4685 is a complete rear braking kit that pairs low-dust Z17 ceramic pads with OE-fit rotors and stainless-steel hardware for a quiet, bolt-on replacement.

This kit is designed to replace your vehicle’s rear brake components with parts engineered for everyday driving: durable ceramic friction material, milled OE-style rotors, and all necessary stainless installation hardware. It’s packaged to make a one-stop swap simple and reduce brake dust, vibration and noise compared with many generic pads. The set fits specific Acura and Honda rear axle applications listed in the product details.

How do these Z17 ceramic pads perform for daily driving?

Z17 ceramic pads prioritize quiet, predictable braking for commuting and family driving. Their thermal-scorched ceramic formula, chamfers and slots promote even bedding-in and consistent feel across normal operating temperatures without aggressive dust or squeal.

• Low-dust ceramic compound for cleaner wheels
• Chamfered and slotted design to minimize noise and ensure smooth contact
• Thermally processed for quicker break-in and stable performance

What does the rotor upgrade bring compared to original equipment?

The included rotors are precision mill-balanced, OE-replacement units made to match factory dimensions and tolerances. That machining reduces runout and vibration, giving a smoother pedal and minimizing the chance of brake judder after installation.

• Non-coated, precision-milled surface for consistent pad bedding
• Balanced to reduce vibration and pedal pulsation
• OE fitment and hardware compatibility for direct bolt-on replacement

Is installation complicated and what hardware is included?

Installation is intended to be straightforward: the kit contains both rear Z17 ceramic pads, two rear OE-style rotors, rubberized shims, and stainless-steel installation hardware so no extra parts are required for a standard swap. This makes it a practical choice for DIY mechanics and professional shops alike.

• Full bolt-on replacement—no modifications required
• Stainless-steel hardware and rubberized shims included to reduce rattle and corrosion
• Works with factory calipers and mounting points for fast installation

What warranty and maintenance should I expect?

PowerStop backs the kit with a limited Performance Protection Warranty for 24 months or 24,000 miles. Routine inspection of pad thickness and rotor condition is recommended, and following proper bedding-in procedures will extend service life.

• 24 Month / 24,000 Mile Limited Warranty
• Inspect pads and rotors at regular intervals for wear and proper torque
• Follow recommended bedding-in steps after installation for best performance
