PowerStop Z17 Rear Ceramic Brake Pads for Lexus ES300h/ES350, Low-Dust Quiet Performance with Hardware

PowerStop Z17 rear ceramic brake pads are an OE-style, low-dust replacement kit with stainless-steel installation hardware built for quiet, reliable daily braking.

If you want a straightforward upgrade from worn factory pads that reduces dust and noise while restoring confident stopping power, the PowerStop Z17 rear ceramic set delivers a plug-and-play swap. These pads come pre-scored, chamfered, and thermal-treated for fast break-in, and the included stainless-steel hardware simplifies installation so you can get back on the road quickly. The Z17 formula is tuned for everyday driving—balancing smooth pedal feel, low noise, and cleaner wheels.

How do these pads improve braking compared to worn OE pads?

The Z17 ceramic compound is engineered to offer consistent friction and quicker bedding than many aging factory pads. That leads to more predictable stops and a firmer, quieter pedal feel without dramatic changes to brake balance.

• Thermal-scored, chamfered, and slotted surfaces for rapid break-in
• Ceramic compound reduces fade in normal driving conditions
• Designed to match OE pad dimensions for reliable fit and braking balance

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner and quieter?

Yes. The Z17 low-dust ceramic material produces less brake dust than many semi-metallic alternatives, so wheels stay cleaner between detailings. Multi-layer rubberized shims and chamfered edges minimize vibration and squeal under typical driving loads.

• Clean-Ride ceramic formula cuts brake dust buildup
• Rubberized shims reduce noise and harshness
• Chamfered edges and slots prevent chatter and promote even wear

What’s included and how easy is installation?

The kit arrives as a complete rear pad replacement with premium stainless-steel installation hardware, so no additional parts are required for a standard bolt-on swap. Installation is designed for do-it-yourself mechanics and professional shops alike.

• Two rear Z17 ceramic brake pads per box
• Stainless-steel mounting hardware included for a bolt-on fit
• No modifications required—fits specified vehicles' rear disc setups
