Power Stop Brakes

Power Stop Brake Pads

Power Stop Z16 ceramic pads offer superior street brake performance for spirited drivers. Power Stop ceramic pads offer quiet, low dust, vibration free operation while maintaining outstanding pads bite at high temperatures. Power Stop Z16 pads are 100% non-ferrous to eliminate annoying noise from metal to metal contact between the rotor and pad. Power Stop brake pads are easy on the rotor, and built to OEM specifications, slotted, chamfered and shimmed.

Power Stop Z26 pads use a unique steel-carbon compound to give unprecedented brake torque at extreme temperatures. When your rotors are glowing orange, then you need the fade resistance of Power Stop Extreme pads. Engineered for serious street performance. Combine Z26 pads with drilled Power Stop rotors for the ultimate brake experience.

Power Stop’s Z36 formula offers enormous brake output for your SUV or truck under full load. Power Stop Z36 metallic pad is designed for thermal stability to give you the confidence to stop under severe conditions and prevent rotor warping. Whether you drive in the hills, haul loads or tow trailers, brake safely with Power Stop Z36 brake pads. Compared to the competition, Power Stop Z36 pads have the highest pad bite (coefficient of friction) through the entire pedal pressure range.

Power Stop Brake Rotors

Power Stop's best selling brake rotor is engineered to keep your brakes cool. Air flows over and through the drilled holes to effectively dissipate heat and eliminate hot spots. The drilled holes are precision machined in Power Stop CNC machining centers. If you have ever experienced pulsating brakes and a shaking steering wheel, then drilled rotors are for you. Warped rotors are caused by excessive heat and the uneven depositon of friction. Power Stop drilled rotors run 200 degrees cooler and prevent warped rotors. Each Power Stop rotor is treated with a gold zinc dichromate finish to keep that new rotor look. The combination of drilled rotors and Power Stop Z series disc pads will provide shorter stopping distance without fade. Power Stop warrants Power Stop drilled rotors against cracking for 3 years when purchased with Power Stop Z series friction products.

While slotted rotors do not improve brake cooling, they provide a nice cleaning action to wipe away friction debris. Friction dust and gas gets sandwiched between the pad and the rotor, and this can reduce pad bite. Independent tests show that slotted rotors do not improve the brake performance as much as drilled rotors, but they are structurally stronger to handle severe thermal shock. Power Stop recommends Power Stop slotted rotors for racing, and heavy duty applications like hauling, towing, and fleet use. The silver zinc dichromate finish is highly resistant to corrosion. Upgrade to Nitro-blast cryogenically treated rotors for the ultimate race proven solution to your heavy duty application.
