SS 6 piston brake pads

I am in the process of getting new pads (thinking of going z26 pads) but I have what looks to be the 6pots in the front and the standard SS brakes in the rear.

would anyone know the specific part numbers or have a link for the front and rear pads?

my dealership wanted 600 for the front pads alone and I figured I could get both for less than that.

let me know! thanks

PS I looked for an hour in other posts and could not locate sufficient information.

the one I did find was showing 1405 for the 6pot fronts and 1718 for the rear.

From my Amazon orders page:
Power Stop Z26-1405 Z26 Extreme Performance Carbon-Ceramic Front Brake Pad Set
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Power Stop Z26-1718 Z26 Extreme Performance Carbon-Ceramic Rear Brake Pad Set.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dusting is a fraction of the OEM pad. The Power Stop brake pads do not feel like they have the same stopping power. Power Stop recommends putting the OEM pads back on for any track events. I changed them out for the NCM Track event at CF8.

If that is the case, should they really be calling them "Extreme Performance"

I actually called and talked to someone at Power Stop before pulling them for CF8 NCM because I didn't believe people on this forum telling me to change them out. I was actually surprised at their recommendation of reinstalling the OEM pads. There are OK for drag racing.

PS: The stopping power of the 6 piston Brembos is awesome.

I never had four pots before so unfortunately I don't know the difference between the two but my brakes have been making a humming/vibration sound during deceleration during braking and it has me nervous haha

they used to squeak terribly but the new squeak sounds like traditional pad wear so I figured/hoping that both issues will be resolved with new pads.

You must have the ZL1 brake package? I didn't think the OEM pads were that bad.... maybe thats all labor? Is they 2 pistons on each side or 3? (rounded areas).



The Z26's are good for the street, they are a street pad, anything past a lotus or a Miata you will cook them on the track, I personal am going to stick with the stock pads, they dust bad but whatever.

oem pads aren't bad they just cake my wheels with brake dust and squeak a lot. they do have great stopping power and a really touchy bite.

I just needed new pads and didn't want to pay 600 for just front pads.. and I don't track my car. the z26s are great, no squeak, low dust but they do require a little more pressure when braking. they only cost 70 for the rears and 80 for the fronts. im not really concerned with cost but id rather put that money towards a flex fuel sensor, headers and catback exhaust

i just have the upgraded 6 pots which i believe are on the 1LEs rather than the zl1.
