Keep your rear brakes quiet and your wheels cleaner with the PowerStop Z17 Evolution Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 17-692A — a low-dust ceramic rear brake pad set that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Searching for a PowerStop brake pad for a rear axle? This set drops in on the 2001-2006 BMW 325CI, 2001-2005 BMW 325I, 2003-2008 BMW Z4, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, the 1999 SAAB 9-5 and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of BMW and SAAB fitments.
Built on PowerStop's Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic formula, these pads are engineered to reduce brake dust and dampen noise for smooth, consistent stops during everyday street driving.
Worn pads may squeal, grind, or increase stopping distance. Replace both rear sides together as a matched set for even, balanced braking.
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
This is a rear disc brake pad set. It replaces the rear pads on the listed BMW and SAAB applications — check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
Does this set include installation hardware?
Yes. Premium hardware is included with the Z17 pads to help make the brake job easier.
Are these PowerStop pads ceramic?
Yes. They use PowerStop's Z17 Evolution Plus low-dust ceramic formula, designed for reduced dust and quiet, smooth stops during everyday street driving.
Does this listing include rotors?
No. This is a pad set only. If you want PowerStop brake pads and rotors together, you'll need to order matching rotors separately.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Yes, it's best practice. Service the rear axle as a matched set so both sides wear evenly and braking stays balanced.
