PowerStop Z47-225 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Heavy-Duty Fleet Brake Pads

The PowerStop Z47-225 is a front disc brake pad set for severe-duty commercial braking demands. It is built for medium-duty and last-mile fleet use, with a semi-metallic compound reinforced by carbon fiber for consistent performance and lower cost per mile.

Compatible with Chevrolet C60 Kodiak, GMC C6000 Topkick, and International 4700 front brake applications, this pad set is aimed at vehicles that operate at or near full gross vehicle weight on a daily basis. The Z47-225 part number is also useful when cross-checking replacement options for the same application.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material with carbon-fiber reinforcement for demanding service.
• Scored friction surface for improved initial pad conditioning.
• Friction material mechanically attached to the backing plate for added shear resistance.
• Premium stainless-steel hardware included for brake service completion.
• Performance-grade pad construction for heavy commercial braking use.

Detailed Description

Power Stop’s Z47 MD and Fleet line is engineered for commercial vehicles that need dependable stopping performance under repeated load. The Z47-225 uses a semi-metallic formula with carbon fiber to strengthen the compound, while the mechanically attached friction layer helps resist separation under severe-duty operation. This makes it a practical choice for fleet maintenance programs focused on uptime and operating cost control.

Fitment includes a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, and International medium-duty trucks with front Bendix or hydraulic disc brake configurations, including Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak, GMC T7500, and International 4900 applications. This part cross-references Centric Parts 106.02250 and Wagner Brake SX225 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Brake fade during repeated stop-and-go fleet operation.
• Premature pad wear in heavy commercial service.
• Reduced stopping consistency under full GVW conditions.
• Brake service intervals that need better durability and uptime.
• Noise and surface conditioning issues associated with worn or mismatched pads.

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify caliper type, brake configuration, and front-axle fitment before ordering, especially on Bendix and hydraulic disc brake applications. The pad set includes stainless-steel hardware, and the friction surface is scorched for faster bedding. Part number Z47-225 should be matched to the vehicle’s exact brake setup for proper installation.

Power Stop positions the Z47 MD and Fleet line as a commercial-duty brake pad solution for vehicles that work under sustained load, with materials and construction chosen for severe-service use.
