PowerStop Z26 Rear Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads for Cadillac ATS/Camaro/Corvette/Mustang — Low-Dust, High-Bite with Hardware

PowerStop Z26 rear carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads are a direct-fit performance upgrade that delivers stronger, low-dust braking for muscle and high-horsepower vehicles.

These Z26 Street Warrior brake pads combine a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic compound with thermal-scored surfaces and stainless-steel installation hardware to give responsive street braking without major rotor wear or excessive dust. The kit is engineered as a bolt-on replacement for specific rear applications on Cadillac ATS V, Chevrolet Camaro SS, multiple Corvette models, and Ford Mustang Shelby GT350/GT350R, and includes everything needed for a straightforward DIY swap.

How do these pads improve stopping performance on high-power cars?

The Z26 compound blends low-dust ceramic with carbon fibers to increase friction under load while maintaining thermal stability. Thermal-scored surfaces help achieve a fast, consistent break-in, reducing fade during repeated hard stops.

• Carbon-fiber reinforcement for higher initial bite and sustained pedal feel
• Thermal scorch on pad faces for faster, consistent bed-in
• Designed for shorter stopping distances under heavy loads
• Engineered to work with drilled/slotted rotors to disperse heat

What will I notice about dust, noise, and rotor wear?

The ceramic-based Z26 formula produces significantly less brake dust than many semi-metallic performance pads, helping wheels stay cleaner. Powder-coated backing plates resist corrosion and the formulation is tuned to balance bite with rotor preservation.

• Low-dust ceramic compound for cleaner wheels
• Powder-coated plates protect against rust and extend service life
• Balanced material to limit excessive rotor scoring
• Designed to minimize click or squeal when properly installed

Is installation difficult and what hardware is included?

Installation is intended to be a simple bolt-on swap — no modifications required. The kit includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you have the parts needed for a smooth brake pad replacement.

• Full rear pad set with stainless-steel clips and shims included
• Direct-fit design for the listed rear applications
• DIY-friendly; standard brake tools and safe procedures required
• Comes ready to install immediately after removing old pads

Which vehicles and driving styles are these pads suited for?

Z26 rear pads are tuned for aggressive street driving and performance builds that demand improved stopping power while limiting brake dust and maintaining rotor life. They are not intended as race-only compounds but perform well in spirited driving and occasional track use.

• Rear fitment for Cadillac ATS V (2016–2019)
• Rear fitment for Chevrolet Camaro SS (2016–2020) and multiple Corvette models (2014–2019, specific trims noted)
• Rear fitment for Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R (2016–2020)
• Best for high-horsepower street cars, modified muscle cars, and performance-oriented daily drivers
