Fitment Notes

  • This fitment list is incomplete. Retailer data indicates this kit also covers additional 1970s-1990s GM full-size platforms - including Chevrolet Caprice/Impala, Oldsmobile Delta 88/98, Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina/Grandville, GMC/Chevrolet G-series vans, and C/R-series pickups/Suburbans - but I could not verify the exact year ranges and rear-brake sub-variants for each without direct access to PowerStop's fitment database.
  • Several applications split by rear drum/shoe width (e.g., "12 in. rear drums" vs. "2¾" wide rear shoes") - this is a common differentiator on this platform family and must be confirmed per vehicle.
  • Front axle only.
  • Do not publish this listing as a complete fitment reference - run the full VIN or year/make/model/submodel list through PowerStop's official fitment tool before finalizing.

Product Description

The PowerStop K4539-26 is a front Z26 Street Warrior brake upgrade built for a wide range of classic and vintage GM full-size platforms spanning the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac full-size sedans, wagons, vans, and light trucks that share a common front brake architecture from this era.

The Z26 pad compound offers stronger, more consistent bite than a typical replacement pad, and the drilled-and-slotted rotor design helps vent heat and gas buildup under hard braking - useful on these heavier, full-size platforms. Stainless-steel hardware is included for a straightforward bolt-on install.

Because this kit spans such a wide range of years, divisions, and body styles, exact fitment can vary by rear brake configuration (drum width, shoe width) even within the same model year. Confirming your specific vehicle's rear brake specs against PowerStop's fitment tool is strongly recommended before ordering.
