Power Stop Z26 Street Warrior Front Brake Pads | Z26-1365 | 2013-2014 Ford Mustang

Improved Stopping Power For Performance Driving

Factory stock brake pads are decent enough for the average driver, but if you bought a 2013-2014 Shelby GT500, the chances are that you're not the average driver. Power Stop extreme pads are made for high-performance street drivers who demand shorter stops under the most demanding conditions. The brake torque on the Z26 Extreme Street Warrior Performance Front Pads is consistently higher than OE pads with outstanding thermal stability. Power Stop Extreme Performance pads are best suited for high horsepower GT500s with custom wheel upgrades. The Z26 friction compound is a carbon fiber and ceramic hybrid that resists fade to 1500 degrees. With Z26 pads, you can count on superior pad bite without dusty wheels.

Unique Ceramic Compound for Low Dust and Wear

Power Stop's specialized ceramic braking compound is a unique formulation that's able to produce high friction coefficients for big gains in braking performance without producing a ton of brake dust, NVH, or rotor wear. The extreme pad offers superior performance and just the right amount of bite to avoid high-temperature brake fade. The Z26 compound is a quiet and low dust formula that features a coefficient of friction 17% higher than OE pads. The Z26s drop right into place of your Shelby's stock brake pads, making them an easy, cost-effective braking upgrade for your truck.

Power Stop Extreme Bedding Note:

The break in procedure is critical to brake performance. The reason for a proper break in is to establish an even layer of friction material deposited on the rotors from the brake pads. It is very important that this initial layer of friction material is evenly distributed. Break in the pads as follows: 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool and do not come to a complete stop. Then do 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool. You should expect to smell some resin as the brakes get hot. After this is complete, drive around for as long as possible without excessively heating the brakes and without coming to a complete stop (Try for about 5 minutes at moderate speed). This is the cooling stage. It allows the heated resin in the brake pads to cool and cure. After the brakes have cooled to standard operating temperature, you may use the brakes normally.
