Overview

A rear axle with high-horsepower duty is the target for these Street Warrior pads, which use carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic friction material on a powder coated backing plate. Stainless hardware comes in the same box.

Owners of the listed muscle cars get higher brake torque than original equipment and low dust at the same time. This is a rear-only set, and the Z06 and Grand Sport lines carry a brake exclusion.

Who it's for

Performance car owners who do their own rear pads and have confirmed the package. Cars with carbon ceramic brakes and any non-listed model are not covered.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Carbon-fiber ceramic formula
  • Higher brake torque than stock
  • Powder coated plate resists rust
  • Stainless hardware included
Cons
  • Rear axle only
  • Corvette entries exclude ceramic composite brakes
  • Short list of models

Performance notes

Reinforced ceramic friction material gives more brake torque than original equipment with strong thermal stability, and a thermal scorched surface shortens break-in. The compound limits dust. The listing offers no temperature rating.
