Detailed Description

Power Stop Z23-1342 is a front disc brake pad set from the Z23 Evolution Sport line, engineered as an upgrade over stock brake pads. The carbon-fiber ceramic friction material is formulated to reduce brake dust and help control noise without giving up the smooth, predictable feel expected in daily driving. With 18.1 mm inner and outer pad friction material thickness, these pads are built for front axle service on select Mercedes-Benz E350, E400, E550, C350, C300, C250, SLK350, SLK300, SLK250, CLS400, E250, and SLC300 models.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess brake dust on front wheels
• Squealing or noisy brake operation
• Reduced stopping response from worn front pads
• Uneven brake feel during normal street driving
• Brake service jobs that need new pad hardware and lubricant
