Detailed Description

Power Stop Z23-1796 is part of the Z23 Evolution Sport line, a daily-driver brake pad range focused on cleaner operation and improved pedal feel over stock-style pads. The friction material combines ceramic content with carbon fiber to balance stopping performance and everyday drivability. This front disc brake pad set is a direct fit for select Mercedes-Benz C300, E350, C350e, GLC300, E300, and C400 applications, with fitment notes that vary by package and wear-sensor requirement.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers (e.g., 000 420 67 00, 000 420 90 00) for the same application. The Z23-1796 part number is also useful when comparing replacement options for the same front brake service.

What It Helps Address

• Excess brake dust on wheels.
• Brake squeal during normal street driving.
• Reduced stopping response from worn pads.
• Uneven pad wear from aging friction material.
• Brake service needs on select Mercedes-Benz front applications.
