PowerStop Ceramic Brake Pads Front 17-1589 — Z17 OE-Style Low-Dust, Quieter Stops

PowerStop Z17 Replacement Ceramic Brake Pads (Front 17-1589) are a direct-fit, low-dust ceramic pad set engineered to replace OE front pads for quieter, cleaner everyday braking.

These Z17 Evolution ceramic brake pads are built as an affordable, performance-minded OE replacement for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Volkswagen applications. The set includes both ceramic friction pads and stainless-steel installation hardware so you get a complete front pad swap without extra parts. Z17 pads combine a ceramic compound with chamfering, slotting and rubberized shims to reduce noise, shorten break-in time and limit wheel-damaging dust compared with conventional organic or semi-metallic pads.

How do these pads improve everyday braking?

PowerStop engineered the Z17 formula to prioritize consistent pedal feel, predictable stopping and minimal noise for daily driving. Thermal scorching and machining (chamfers and slots) promote quick, even bed-in and help vent gases that build under heavy use.

• Low-dust ceramic compound for cleaner wheels
• Chamfered and slotted faces reduce uneven wear and vibration
• Thermally scorched surface for faster break-in
• Rubberized shims lower vibration for quieter stops

Will these fit my vehicle and require special tools?

The Z17 set is manufactured as an OE-style replacement—no modifications are required. Each box contains the pair of front pads plus stainless-steel hardware needed for a straightforward bolt-on installation, making them suitable for DIY mechanics and professional shops alike.

• Direct-fit for multiple Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Volkswagen models
• Includes stainless-steel installation hardware for a complete swap
• No machining or special adapters required—standard brake tools suffice
• Confirm exact fitment using vehicle application list before purchasing

How do these pads affect noise and brake dust?

These ceramic pads were formulated to reduce both audible noise and visible dust compared with many standard replacements. Multi-layer rubberized shims act as dampers to minimize squeal, while the ceramic compound produces less residue on wheels during normal driving.

• Rubberized shims reduce brake squeal and vibration
• Ceramic friction material generates lower dust levels
• Slotting helps keep pad surface clean and clear of hot gases
• Cleaner wheels between service intervals

What warranty and parts are included?

The product ships as a full replacement set for one axle and arrives ready to install. PowerStop backs these pads with a limited performance protection warranty for added consumer confidence.

• Includes two front Z17 ceramic brake pads and stainless-steel hardware
• 12 Month / 12,000 Mile Limited Warranty for covered defects
• Meets or exceeds OE fit and finish expectations for listed vehicles
• Comes pre-machined and pre-treated to shorten break-in

Who is this for: The PowerStop Z17 front ceramic pads suit drivers who want a direct, no-modification replacement that improves day-to-day braking comfort—reducing noise and dust—without stepping up to aggressive track-level compounds. They are ideal for owners of compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Volkswagen models who value cleaner wheels, predictable stopping performance and an easy DIY or shop install.

Note: Always verify vehicle fitment against the included application list before purchase. Professional installation is recommended if you lack brake service experience.
