Product Details

PowerStop Z23-1185R is a rear disc brake pad set from the Z23 Daily Driver Carbon-Fiber Ceramic line. The friction material uses a carbon-fiber ceramic blend to balance braking power with everyday drivability, while the low-dust construction helps reduce the residue commonly associated with standard replacement pads. Chamfered edges, shims, and a slotted pad profile support quieter operation and more even pad contact during normal street use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Excess brake dust on rear wheels
• Squeal or noise during light to moderate braking
• Worn rear pads requiring replacement
• Uneven braking feel from aging pad material
• Need for a street-focused upgrade on a Chevrolet Corvette rear brake service

Compatible With 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, rear. Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points, apply the included ceramic brake lubricant where specified, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads. Part number Z23-1185R should be matched to the rear axle application before ordering.
