PowerStop Z17 Front Ceramic Brake Pads 17-1723 for Acura/Honda — Low-Dust, Quiet OE-Style Replacement

PowerStop Z17 front ceramic brake pad set delivers quiet, low-dust braking designed as a direct OE-style replacement for select Acura and Honda models.

If you want dependable daily-street braking without the fuss of extra dust or noise, the PowerStop Z17 Evolution ceramic pads are built to be a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. These pads pair a low-dust ceramic formulation with chamfered, slotted faces and rubberized shims to reduce vibration and help your wheels stay cleaner between washes. The kit also includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you have everything necessary for a simple DIY replacement.

How do these pads improve everyday stopping performance?

The Z17 compound focuses on consistent, predictable friction suitable for commuting and family driving, rather than race-level aggression. Thermal scorching and slotting help speed break-in while chamfers reduce harsh engagement and noise. Together, that supports steady pedal feel and controlled stops under normal driving conditions.

• Low-dust ceramic formula minimizes brake dust on wheels
• Chamfered edges reduce pad edge noise during engagement
• Slotted faces aid in gas and heat evacuation for consistent bite
• Thermally scorched for faster, smoother break-in

What does installation include and how easy is it?

This Z17 kit is supplied as a complete front pad replacement with all stainless-steel installation hardware included, designed for a true bolt-on fit. No modification is required for the listed applications, so an experienced DIYer with basic tools can complete the job at home or a professional installer can fit them quickly.

• Includes full set of front Z17 ceramic pads and stainless-steel hardware
• Direct OE-style replacement dimensions for listed vehicles
• Hardware prevents rattles and helps correct pad alignment

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner and reduce noise?

Yes—the ceramic compound is formulated to shed less dust than many semi-metallic options, so wheel surfaces remain cleaner between maintenance intervals. Multi-layer rubberized shims and pad chamfers are included to damp vibrations and reduce typical squeal sources, providing quieter operation in everyday driving.

• Clean-Ride ceramic reduces visible brake dust buildup
• Rubberized shims absorb vibration for quieter braking
• Chamfers help prevent intermittent squeal during low-speed stops
• Consistent pad bedding for stable noise characteristics over life

It’s a practical choice if you prioritize cleaner wheels, quiet operation, and a hassle-free installation backed by included stainless-steel hardware and a limited warranty.
