Product Description

PowerStop Z26-2528 is a Z26 Street Warrior carbon-fiber ceramic rear brake pad set designed for the 2024-2026 Ford Mustang S650 platform. The pads are engineered as a performance-oriented upgrade for street-driven Mustangs, combining a carbon-fiber ceramic friction compound with low-dust characteristics and strong stopping performance.

The friction surface is thermally scorched to accelerate the initial bedding process, while positive-mold manufacturing promotes consistent wear and friction performance. Chamfered and slotted edges help control brake noise, and multi-layer stainless-steel shims assist with heat dissipation and vibration management. Powder-coated backing plates provide corrosion resistance, while stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are included.

Z26-2528 is verified for 2024-2026 Mustang EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse, and Dark Horse Premium applications. EcoBoost models require the specified Performance Brakes, while GT and GT Premium models require the Performance Package. All listed applications are rear-wheel drive and use either the 2.3L turbocharged I4 or 5.0L naturally aspirated V8. The set is for the rear axle only.
