The Power Stop 04-09 Cadillac XLR Rear Z17 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware, SKU 17-732, represent a premium OE replacement solution designed specifically for the rear braking system of Cadillac XLR models from 2004 to 2009, including Base, Platinum, and V trims. This product also fits a broad range of Chevrolet Corvette models spanning from 1997 through 2013, including special editions such as the 50th Anniversary and Z06 variants. Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation in automotive braking technology, these brake pads ensure reliable performance and durability.
Constructed using advanced ceramic materials, the Z17 Evolution pads deliver superior stopping power while minimizing brake dust and noise, which are common concerns in conventional brake pads. The incorporation of OE positive mold technology guarantees a precise fit and consistent wear, enhancing both safety and longevity.

Included with the brake pads is a set of stainless steel hardware, facilitating a straightforward and secure installation process. This hardware not only supports the pads but also contributes to the overall durability of the braking system by resisting corrosion and wear. The Z17 Evolution ceramic brake pads are engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a dependable and cost-effective brake solution.
