PowerStop Z26-848 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Rear Performance Brake Pads for Mercedes-Benz

PowerStop Z26-848 rear brake pads are built for muscle cars and performance vehicles that need stronger stopping response with less brake dust and reduced noise. This rear disc brake pad set uses a carbon-fiber ceramic friction formula, slotted faces, chamfered edges, and included shims to support consistent pedal feel on street-driven performance applications.

Compatible with select 2000-2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500, S430, S500, CL55 AMG, CL600, S55 AMG, and S600 rear brake applications, the Power Stop Z26 Street Performance line focuses on clean operation and controlled braking. The Z26-848 part number is a direct-fit rear pad option for drivers looking to replace worn pads with a performance-oriented carbon-fiber ceramic design.

Product Details

The Power Stop Z26 Street Warrior line is engineered as an upgrade over stock-style rear pads for drivers who want firmer braking performance without giving up street manners. On the Mercedes-Benz CL500, S430, and S500 rear brake applications, as well as CL55 AMG, CL600, S55 AMG, and S600 rear fitments, the Z26-848 uses a carbon-fiber ceramic compound to strengthen the pad material and support repeatable stopping power. The slotted design, chamfered edges, and included shims work together to help control noise during everyday driving.

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

What This Part Helps Address

• Worn rear brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
• Excess brake dust on performance wheels
• Squeal or noise from aging rear pads
• Uneven braking feel from degraded friction material
• Rear brake service needs on select Mercedes-Benz performance sedans and coupes

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by model year and chassis notes before installation. Some applications require a separate wear sensor for proper fitment, and the 2000-2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500 listing applies only to chassis numbers up to A028699. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and pad contact points during service, and apply the included brake lubricant where specified by the brake system manufacturer.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop manufactures the Z26 Street Warrior line as a performance-focused brake pad solution for street use, with included shims, lubricant, and hardware to support a complete rear brake service.
