PowerStop Z17 Ceramic Rear Brake Pads 17-1114 — Low-Dust, OE-Fit Hardware

If you want an easy bolt-on rear pad upgrade that reduces brake dust, cuts noise, and matches original-equipment fit, the PowerStop Z17 17-1114 set delivers dependable stopping for daily-driven Subarus. These pads use a ceramic Z17 compound with chamfers and slots to speed break-in and stabilize friction under common driving conditions. The package includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you can swap pads without extra parts.

How do these pads improve daily braking performance?

The Z17 ceramic compound is formulated to provide consistent friction with minimized noise and reduced dust generation compared with many semi-metallic alternatives. Chamfered edges and slots aid even pad bedding and help the pads generate predictable bite during normal driving. You’ll notice smoother stops and less residue on wheels.

• Low-dust ceramic formula keeps wheels cleaner between washes
• Chamfers and slots promote faster, even break-in
• Rubberized multi-layer shims dampen vibration for quieter braking
• Thermal scorched surface reduces initial bedding time

What comes in the box and how simple is the install?

This rear pad kit ships complete with two Z17 ceramic rear pads and premium stainless-steel installation hardware so you won’t need additional clips or pins for a standard replacement.

Are these pads compatible with my Subaru and the existing rotors?

When used with compatible rotors, the pads bed quickly and deliver the advertised low dust and quiet operation.

The PowerStop Z17 17-1114 kit is ideal for owners of compatible Subaru models who prioritize clean wheels and consistent everyday braking rather than track-focused high-friction compounds. If you want a reliable, easy-to-install pad set that balances quiet operation with dependable stopping for daily commuting and weekend drives, this kit is well suited to that need.
