Product Line Details

Power Stop’s Z23 Evolution Sport line focuses on everyday braking upgrades for drivers who want a cleaner, quieter brake pad with stronger pedal confidence than many stock-style replacements. The carbon-fiber ceramic compound is the core of the Z23-1116 design, making it a practical choice for street-driven Mercedes-Benz performance models that need controlled stopping power and refined operation.

Detailed Description

The PowerStop Z23-1116 front brake pad set uses a carbon-fiber ceramic friction blend to support strong braking performance while helping limit dust buildup and unwanted noise. The pad surface is slotted and chamfered, and the set includes shims plus brake lubricant to support proper service and quieter operation. This front disc brake pad set is a focused replacement for select Mercedes-Benz AMG applications, including the 2007-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, front, with Performance Package and 6 piston front caliper, the 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG, front, and the 2005-2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG and SLK55 AMG, front, with the specified caliper and wear-sensor requirements.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 004 420 50 20 and 004 420 89 20 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess brake dust on front wheels
• Squealing or noisy brake operation
• Reduced braking consistency from worn front pads
• Need for a performance-oriented street brake pad replacement
• Service jobs requiring matched hardware and lubricant for the front axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before installation, especially on Mercedes-Benz AMG models with 6-piston front calipers or Performance Package requirements. Some listed applications require a wear sensor sold separately, so confirm sensor needs before beginning the brake job. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during service to support even pad wear and proper braking feel.

Quality Assurance

Power Stop designs the Z23 Evolution Sport line as a performance-focused street brake solution for daily driving. The Z23-1116 is built around a carbon-fiber ceramic formula, with included shims, lubricant, and stainless-steel hardware to support a complete front brake service on the specified Mercedes-Benz applications.
