Fitment Notes

• Fits Front axle only
• Fits models equipped with 6-piston front calipers only - does NOT fit 2024-2025 EcoBoost or GT without Performance Package (those use 2-piston calipers; see Z26-2515)
• Does not fit 2024-2025 Mustang Mach 1 or GT500 - those require a different pad
• Confirm caliper piston count before ordering - fitment is caliper-specific, not trim-level-only
• Pad wear sensor is NOT included - sold separately if required

Features

• Proprietary Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic compound engineered for the high-thermal demands of 6-piston performance caliper systems on S650 Mustang platforms
• Resists brake fade up to 1,500°F - built for repeated aggressive stops under spirited street and performance driving conditions
• Low-dust formulation verified through third-party on-vehicle testing - significantly cleaner than OEM pads on open-spoke alloy wheels
• Dual-layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free braking even under hard application
• Chamfered and slotted pad edges optimize cooling and suppress noise at the front axle
• Thermal scorched surface delivers fast break-in and immediate, consistent friction from the first stop
• Powder-coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion for extended service life

Product Description

The PowerStop Z26-2516 Z26 Street Warrior Front Brake Pads are a direct-fit high-performance upgrade for the 2024-2025 Ford Mustang S650 models equipped with 6-piston front calipers - including the Dark Horse, Dark Horse Premium, GT, GT Premium, and EcoBoost with Performance Package. Engineered for S650 Mustang owners who want significantly less brake dust and more confident front-axle stopping power without sacrificing street drivability, these pads use PowerStop's Z26 Street Warrior compound, rated to resist fade up to 1,500°F. The result is an upgrade that matches the thermal and bite demands of the S650's aggressive 6-piston caliper setup while keeping open-spoke wheel faces dramatically cleaner than OEM performance pads.

Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory for fast break-in, with chamfered and slotted edges and a dual-layer rubberized shim stack that virtually eliminates brake noise under both daily driving and hard braking. A powder-coated backing plate adds long-term corrosion protection. These are front-axle-only pads and are strictly for 6-piston caliper applications - EcoBoost and GT models without the Performance Package use 2-piston front calipers and require Z26-2515 instead. No pad wear sensor is included and must be sourced separately if required.
