The Power Stop KC242-26 Z26 Street Warrior Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution engineered for high-performance, high-horsepower muscle cars and modified street vehicles. Designed to deliver significantly shorter stopping distances over stock brakes, this all-inclusive kit pairs proprietary Z26 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads with drilled, slotted, and zinc-plated rotors — and tops it off with powder-coated calipers for a head-turning look behind your wheels.
What's Included:
- Front and rear drilled, slotted, and zinc-plated performance rotors
- Front and rear Z26 Extreme Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pad sets with hardware
- Red powder-coated front and rear calipers (assembled and pressure tested)
- Premium stainless-steel installation hardware
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant
Z26 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic formula enhances heat dissipation compared to a standard ceramic pad, delivering superior, fade-free stopping power at high speeds. Brake torque from the Z26 series is consistently higher than original equipment, with outstanding thermal stability under the most demanding conditions. The low-dust formulation has been validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, producing on average 30% less dust versus OE pads — so your wheels stay cleaner, longer. Stainless-steel shims combined with a chamfered and slotted pad design ensure virtually noise-free braking performance.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision cross-drill holes maximize rotor cooling by venting heat during extreme operating conditions, while the rounded slots continuously wipe away gas and debris — maintaining a clean, consistent contact patch for safe, smooth stops. Rotors are cast from G3000-grade metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a true bolt-on fit with no modifications required. Silver zinc dichromate plating protects against rust and corrosion while adding a polished appearance behind open wheels.
Powder-Coated Performance Calipers
All calipers are powder coated, assembled, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable coating resists rust and corrosion, extends caliper life, and delivers a bold, distinctive look behind your wheels that sets this kit apart from a standard brake upgrade.
