PowerStop Z17 Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit KOE6520 — Low-Dust Ceramic Pads, OE-Style Rotors

The PowerStop Z17 Replacement Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Rear KOE6520 is a complete rear brake upgrade that pairs low-dust Z17 ceramic pads with OE-style replacement rotors and stainless-steel hardware for an easy bolt-on install.

This kit bundles everything needed to refresh the rear braking system on compatible Lexus and Toyota models: two Z17 ceramic brake pads, two precision-milled OE replacement rotors, rubberized shims, and stainless-steel installation hardware. It’s engineered to give quieter stops, reduced wheel dust, and a near-stock fit and feel without requiring modifications. The rotors are mill-balanced for smooth rotation, while the pads are chamfered and slotted to accelerate break-in and minimize noise.

How will this kit change everyday braking performance?

The Z17 ceramic pad compound is formulated to deliver steady friction, quieter engagement, and less brake dust than many semi-metallic alternatives. Combined with OE-style rotors, the assembly restores comfort and pedal feel close to factory specifications. Expect predictable stopping in routine driving without harsh squeal or excessive dust build-up.
