Product Description

The PowerStop Z26-2444 Z26 Street Warrior Front Brake Pads are a direct-fit high-performance upgrade for two of the most serious high-performance platforms in GM's current lineup: the 2022 Cadillac CT4 V-Blackwing and the 2023-2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with iron brake rotors. Engineered for drivers who want to eliminate the excessive brake dust that plagues OEM performance pads on open-spoke wheels while gaining genuine improvements in front-axle stopping power and heat resistance, these pads use PowerStop's Z26 Street Warrior compound, rated to resist fade up to 1,500°F - a level of thermal performance that matches the demands of a 670-horsepower flat-plane V8 and a twin-turbocharged sport sedan.

Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory for immediate, consistent bite from the first stop, with chamfered and slotted edges and a dual-layer rubberized shim stack to keep noise virtually eliminated under both street and spirited driving conditions. The powder-coated backing plate provides long-term protection against corrosion. This is a front-axle-only pad set. Critically, this part is not compatible with Corvette Z06 models equipped with the optional Carbon Ceramic Composite Brake (CCB) upgrade - iron rotor applications only. A pad wear sensor is not included and must be sourced separately if required for your specific vehicle configuration.
