About PowerStop Brakes
When it's time to hit the brakes, PowerStop is a name you can count on. Since 1995, PowerStop has built a strong reputation for quality braking components that deliver dependable stopping power without breaking the bank. From everyday replacement brake pads and rotors to complete front, rear, and four-wheel brake kits, PowerStop has just about everything you need to get your vehicle stopping right. Their popular Z17 Series offers affordable factory-style replacements, while the Z23 Evolution Sport and Z26 Street Warrior lineups bring performance-focused upgrades to the table. For truck owners who tow, haul, or venture off-road, their Z36 Truck & Tow Series is built to handle heavier demands. With carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, upgraded calipers, and complete brake hardware, PowerStop knows how to put together a solid braking system.
Tired of worn-out rotors, squeaky brakes, or wheels constantly covered in brake dust? PowerStop understands that a good brake system should do more than just bring your vehicle to a stop. Their low-dust pad formulations, noise-reducing shims, and carefully matched brake kits are designed to make braking smoother, quieter, and more dependable. One thing we really like about PowerStop is how easy they make a complete brake job. Instead of piecing everything together yourself, many of their kits include the pads, rotors, and hardware needed for the job.
