Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material with carbon-fiber reinforcement for demanding fleet use.
• Friction is mechanically attached to the backing plate for high shear resistance.
• Scorched friction surface for quicker pad conditioning.
• Stainless-steel hardware included for brake service completion.
• Performance-grade pad set for heavy-duty stopping applications.

Detailed Description

The Power Stop Z47 MD and Fleet Carbon-Fiber Semi-Met Brake Pads with Hardware Kit, part number Z47-184, are engineered as an upgrade over stock brake pads for vehicles operating at or near full gross vehicle weight. The semi-metallic compound is strengthened with carbon fiber to improve durability and reduce cost per mile in commercial service. Mechanical attachment of the friction material to the backing plate adds resistance to shear forces, while the scorched surface helps the pads seat more quickly after installation. Part number Z47-184 is also cross-referenced to Wagner Brake SX184 for the same application.

This part fits a wide range of front brake applications, including Workhorse Custom Chassis P32 and P42, Workhorse P30, Chevrolet and GMC C3500HD, International 3000 and 3000FE, and multiple International medium-duty models such as 1654, 1854, 1954, and M1600 Metro II. For buyers searching for Power Stop brake pads for Chevrolet C3500HD or GMC C3500HD front brake service, Z47-184 matches the listed fitment exactly.
