PowerStop Z17 Ceramic Brake Pad & Fully Coated Rotor Kit Front CRK4669 — Low-Dust, Rust-Resistant

PowerStop Z17 Brake Pad & Fully Coated Rotor Kit CRK4669 is a complete front brake replacement that pairs low-dust ceramic Z17 pads with GEOMET fully coated rotors for quieter, longer-lasting everyday stopping performance.

If you need a direct, bolt-on brake upgrade for compatible Toyota, Scion, Pontiac, and Matrix models, this kit delivers pads, rotors, shims, and stainless hardware in one package. Designed as an improvement over standard OE replacements, the Z17 pads use a ceramic formula and rubberized shims to reduce noise and dust, while the GEOMET-coated rotors resist rust to extend service life. The kit is intended for routine street use, offering smooth braking feel and straightforward DIY installation.

How do these Z17 ceramic pads improve daily driving?

The Z17 compound emphasizes quiet operation and low dust, so wheels stay cleaner and cabin noise is minimized. Chamfering and slotting assist with quick bedding and consistent pedal feel under normal driving conditions.

• Low-dust ceramic formulation for cleaner wheels
• Rubberized shims to reduce brake squeal and vibration
• Chamfered and slotted faces for smooth, predictable break-in
• Engineered as an OE-style upgrade for everyday use

What benefits do the fully coated GEOMET rotors provide?

GEOMET coating creates a protective barrier against corrosion, slowing surface rust that commonly develops during storage or in wet climates. Precision machining keeps the rotor face true for a stable, vibration-free stop.

• Factory-style coating resists rust and extends rotor life
• Precision-milled braking surface reduces vibration and pulsation
• Aluminum-silver finish complements modern open alloy wheels
• Designed as an OE replacement for consistent fit and function
