Power Stop Disc Brake Pad and Rotor Set

Power Stop Disc Brake Pad and Rotor Sets: The Complete Upgrade Solution

When it comes to replacing your brakes, few brands have earned the trust of daily drivers and enthusiasts alike the way Power Stop has. Their disc brake pad and rotor sets stand out for one simple reason: every component in the box is engineered to work together. Rather than mixing and matching pads and rotors from different manufacturers, Power Stop designs each kit as a matched system — pairing the right friction compound with the right rotor surface for optimal stopping distance, wear life, and noise characteristics.

At the heart of every Power Stop kit is their carbon-fiber ceramic pad technology. Power Stop creates each set of brake pads and rotors for one vehicle at a time using computer-aided design (CAD) to determine optimum placement of everything from drilled holes to ventilation slots and compound blends. The result is a kit tuned specifically for your vehicle rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all solution.

Choosing the Right Power Stop Kit for Your Vehicle

Power Stop organizes their disc brake pad and rotor sets into distinct product lines, each tailored to a specific driving profile:

• Z17 Evolution Plus — Built for daily drivers who want reliable stopping power with very little dust and noise, the Z17 features a true ceramic pad engineered to provide stable friction levels and quiet operation. Rotors in Z17 kits are typically GEOMET coated for protection against rust and corrosion, making them an excellent OEM-level replacement.
• Z23 Evolution Sport — The Z23 Evolution Sport kit upgrades the formula by using a carbon-fiber ceramic blend. The carbon fiber content improves the pad's strength and heat dispersion, which translates to better fade resistance and more consistent braking under higher stress conditions. The Z23 kit is fully equipped with Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads; drilled, slotted and zinc-plated rotors; dual-layer rubberized shims; hi-temp brake lubricant; and premium stainless-steel hardware for an easy, bolt-on upgrade.
• Z36 Extreme Truck & Tow — This complete brake kit has been engineered to handle the added stress of towing, hauling, mountainous driving and lifted trucks. The Z36 compound is a quiet and low-dust formula that features a coefficient of friction 17% higher than OE pads. The low-dust ceramic brake pads are reinforced with carbon-fiber to provide severe-duty stopping power, and these pads are paired with drilled & slotted rotors that keep brake temperatures down by maximizing heat dissipation.
• Z26 Extreme Street Performance — Designed for high-horsepower vehicles and big wheel upgrades, the Z26 Extreme Street Performance kit is built for muscle cars and spirited street drivers who demand more bite without compromising daily drivability.

What Makes Power Stop Kits Different

Where many brands sell pads and rotors as separate entities, Power Stop understands that it is not uncommon to be changing both pads and rotors at the same time. This is why many Power Stop offerings include both pads and rotors, specifically designed to work together for optimal braking distance and longevity.

Power Stop brake upgrade kits include everything in one box — pads, rotors, hardware and more — and are available for 98% of cars and trucks on the road. The rotor coating also plays an important role: brake rotor, pad, and hardware are engineered to work together to increase stopping power, improve durability, and eliminate dust, with rotors zinc plated for maximum protection against rust.

Backing it all up is a strong warranty program. Power Stop warrants their Z36 products to be free from defects and poor workmanship for 36 months from the purchase date or 36,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first, and that warranty coverage even includes rotor cracking. With 218 disc brake pad and rotor set options in this lineup, there's a Power Stop kit matched to virtually every make, model, and driving style.
