Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Rear Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads for Select Audi 2017-2021 (Z23-1898)

Fits select 2017-2021 Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, Q5, RS5, S4, S5, and SQ5 models.

Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads are engineered as a performance-oriented upgrade over factory braking systems. Designed for the daily driver that demands more stopping power, the Z23 compound combines the low-dust, low-noise benefits of traditional ceramic with the high-torque reinforcement of carbon fibers. This ensures consistent friction levels and fade resistance without sacrificing the drivability required for a street vehicle.

These pads are manufactured using positive mold technology for uniform friction density and consistent wear characteristics. Each set features a powder-coated backing plate to resist rust and multi-layer rubberized shims to isolate vibration and ensure quiet operation. To facilitate a complete professional installation, the Z23-1898 kit includes premium hardware, pin bushings, and high-temperature ceramic lubricant.

• Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Formula: Provides increased braking torque while maintaining low-dust performance.
