PowerStop Z23-699 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Overview

Power Stop Z23-699 is a front disc brake pad set built for daily driving with a carbon-fiber ceramic friction formula. It is made to reduce brake dust and noise while maintaining consistent stopping performance for a wide range of GM applications, including Buick Century, Chevrolet Impala, and Pontiac Grand Prix.

Key Features

• Carbon-fiber ceramic friction material for performance-oriented street use
• Low-dust pad formulation to help keep wheels cleaner
• Chamfered edges and slotted design for quieter operation
• Pad shims included for improved noise control
• Mechanical pad wear sensor included
• Stainless-steel hardware and brake lubricant included

Detailed Description

The Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport line focuses on OE-style drivability with upgraded friction characteristics. This Z23-699 front brake pad set uses a carbon fiber ceramic compound and performance-grade construction to deliver stronger braking response without giving up everyday comfort. It is a direct fit for front brake service on applications such as Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Cadillac DeVille, with fitment notes that vary by rotor size and VIN on select vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 18024961, 18024962) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess brake dust on daily-driven vehicles
• Squeal and noise during normal braking
• Reduced braking response from worn pads
• Uneven pad wear on front brake service
• Brake service jobs that need included shims, lubricant, and hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment against the vehicle notes before ordering, especially on 2005 Buick LeSabre, 2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2005 Chevrolet Impala, and 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo applications with VIN or rotor-size restrictions. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during installation, and follow the brake lubricant and hardware instructions supplied with the pad set. Confirm the pad wear sensor style matches the vehicle’s original setup.

Quality Assurance

Power Stop’s Z23 Evolution Sport line is engineered as an upgrade over stock brake pads for street use, with a low-dust ceramic formula and carbon-fiber reinforcement for balanced performance and comfort.
