PowerStop Z26-2503 Z26 Street Warrior Rear Pads for 2023-2025 Corvette C8 Z06

Vehicle Fitment

• 2023-2025 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C8, RWD, 5.5L V8 LT6 - Iron Brake Rotors only, without Z07 Performance Package)

Fitment Notes

• Fits Rear axle only
• Does NOT fit Corvette Z06 models equipped with the Z07 Performance Package - Z07 includes Carbon Ceramic Composite (CCB/CCM) rotors which require a specialized pad
• Does not fit 2020-2025 Corvette Stingray (C8) - see Z26-8010 for Stingray rear applications
• Does not fit any C7 Corvette - those platforms use different part numbers
• Verify brake rotor type (iron vs. carbon ceramic) before ordering - this pad is for iron rotor Z06 applications only
• Pad wear sensor is NOT included - sold separately if required

Features

• Proprietary Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic compound engineered for the extreme thermal demands of the C8 Z06's high-revving 5.5L flat-plane V8 platform
• Resists brake fade up to 1,500°F - purpose-built for repeated high-speed stops and spirited street performance use
• Low-dust formulation verified through third-party on-vehicle testing - dramatically cleaner than OEM pads on the Z06's open-spoke wheels
• Dual-layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free braking under all driving conditions
• Chamfered and slotted pad edges optimize rear rotor contact, cooling, and noise suppression
• 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 Z26-2503 Z26 Street Warrior Rear Brake Pads are a direct-fit high-performance upgrade for the 2023-2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 equipped with standard iron brake rotors - specifically models without the Z07 Performance Package. Designed for Z06 owners who want significantly less brake dust and quieter rear-axle operation without sacrificing the aggressive stopping power the flat-plane 5.5L LT6 demands, these pads use PowerStop's Z26 Street Warrior compound, rated to resist brake fade up to 1,500°F. The result is a rear brake upgrade that delivers confident, repeated stopping performance under spirited street use while keeping the Z06's distinctive open-spoke wheels dramatically cleaner.

Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory for fast break-in, with chamfered and slotted edges and a dual-layer rubberized shim stack to keep noise virtually eliminated. A powder-coated backing plate adds long-term corrosion protection. This is a rear-axle-only pad set and is strictly for iron-rotor Z06 applications - Z07-equipped Z06 models use Carbon Ceramic Composite rotors that are incompatible with this pad. No pad wear sensor is included and must be sourced separately if required for your application.
