Power Stop Z26 Extreme Performance Carbon-Ceramic Front Brake Pads | Z26-1771 | 2015-2017 Ford Focus

Improves Stopping Power, Bite, and Fade with Low Dust and Rotor Wear

While the stock calipers on the front of your 2015-2017 Focus ST do an adequate job of bringing your aggressive Pony to a stop, there's still plenty of room for improvements in both stopping power and brake dust generation when it comes to their factory pads. Power Stop's Z26 Carbon-Ceramic Extreme Performance Brake Pads are an excellent choice for improving your ST's overall braking performance while seriously reducing the amount of brake dust being generated by their front calipers. The Z26 brake pads are made with a unique formulation of ceramic compounds and carbon fiber that offers up a big improvement in bite, stopping power, and fade resistance over the factory semi-metallic brake pads without a ton of dust generation or rotor wear. Each pad can handle temperatures of up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit, making them suitable for extremely aggressive driving. The Z26 pads drop right into your Focus ST's front brake calipers without modifications, making them a hassle-free and cost-effective way to improve braking performance on your hot-hatch.

Powerful Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Friction Compound that Drop into Place of Stock Pads

Power Stop carefully designed their Z26 Carbon-Ceramic Brake Pads to provide an excellent improvement in braking performance, all without causing undue rotor wear and keeping dust generation to a minimum. The secret is these pads' specialized friction compound which is made from a combination of traditional ceramic and real carbon fiber which gives the pads more bite and stopping power than traditional semi-metallic brake pads, but also makes them easy on your choice of rotors and generate much less dust than most OEM brake pads. The friction surface of each brake pad is thermal-scorched for a fast break in period and to provide more consistent performance. The pads are also chamfered and slotted like OEM pads, and even come with stainless steel shims, all of which keep brake noise and vibrations to a minimum and resist heat build up. The friction material is built into a heavy-duty backing plate that's powder coated to prevent corrosion.
