Key Features

PowerStop’s Front Z26 Coated Brake Kit incorporates several key features that enhance braking efficiency and durability:

• High-carbon rotors with a proprietary zinc coating to prevent rust and corrosion
• Premium Z26 ceramic brake pads designed for low dust and noise
• Direct bolt-on fitment for 2005–2010 Scion tC models, ensuring easy installation
• Improved heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during aggressive driving
• Enhanced stopping power compared to standard OEM brake components
• Durable construction for long-lasting performance and reliability
• Balanced rotor design to minimize vibration and noise
• Environmentally friendly ceramic pad formulation

Construction & Design

The rotors in this kit are crafted from high-carbon steel, which provides superior strength and heat resistance compared to standard cast iron rotors. The zinc coating applied to the rotor surface acts as a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial in wet or humid climates. This coating also helps maintain a clean, factory-fresh appearance over time.

The Z26 ceramic brake pads feature a carefully engineered friction formula that balances stopping power with low dust generation and minimal noise. This ceramic compound is designed to withstand high temperatures while providing smooth and consistent braking performance, making it suitable for both everyday driving and more spirited use.

Installation & Fitment

This PowerStop brake kit is designed as a direct replacement for the front brake components on 2005 through 2010 Scion tC models. Installation requires no modifications to existing hardware or suspension components, allowing for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. The kit includes all necessary rotors and pads, making it a convenient and comprehensive solution for brake system enhancement.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system bleeding, but experienced DIY enthusiasts will find the process manageable with standard automotive tools.

What's Included

• Two high-carbon, zinc-coated front brake rotors
• Set of PowerStop Z26 ceramic front brake pads
• Installation hardware (where applicable)
• Detailed installation instructions
