Product Description

Upgrade your C7 Corvette's braking performance with the PowerStop Z26-1718 Extreme Performance Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Rear Brake Pads. Designed for high-performance street vehicles, the Z26 compound delivers increased stopping power, excellent heat resistance, and significantly reduced brake dust compared to traditional factory pads. These pads are an ideal upgrade for Corvette owners looking to improve braking performance while maintaining the comfort and drivability expected from a street-driven vehicle.

Featuring PowerStop's proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound, the Z26 pads provide improved strength and thermal stability over conventional ceramic pads, making them especially well-suited for vehicles with larger wheels, increased horsepower, and aggressive street driving. The included stainless steel shims, chamfered edges, and thermal scorched surfaces help provide quiet operation, fast break-in, and consistent pedal feel.

Why Upgrade?

The factory brake pads on the C7 Corvette are designed as a compromise between performance, comfort, and cost. For enthusiasts who want a cleaner wheel, stronger initial bite, and improved confidence during spirited driving, the PowerStop Z26-1718 is an excellent street-performance upgrade.

The carbon-fiber ceramic compound offers a noticeable improvement for daily driving, canyon runs, autocross, and high-performance street use while avoiding the excessive dust and noise commonly associated with aggressive track compounds. Pair these pads with upgraded rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and high-temperature fluid for a complete C7 braking package.
