PowerStop Z17 Stock Replacement Line

The Z17 Stock Replacement Brake Kit line is aimed at drivers who want an OE-standard brake service solution without changing the vehicle’s original braking character. For the Explorer Sport Trac and Explorer Sport applications listed here, KOE5593 pairs ceramic pads with matched rotors to support a clean, direct replacement during brake service.

Detailed Description

PowerStop KOE5593 is a disc brake kit for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Ford Explorer Sport that focuses on stock-style fitment and everyday drivability. The ceramic pad compound is selected for low-dust performance, while the vented front rotors and solid rear rotors match the vehicle’s original brake layout.
