Get cleaner wheels and quieter stops on your minivan with the PowerStop Z17 Evolution Ceramic Brake Pad Set (17-803). This front disc brake pad set installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Ford Windstar — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage. The Z17 uses a low-dust ceramic formula for smooth, consistent pedal feel and low, less-visible dust during everyday street driving.
- Low-dust ceramic formula: designed to reduce brake dust and help keep wheels cleaner in daily driving.
- Positive mold technology: promotes consistent wear and performance across the pad.
- Thermal-scorched pad surface: supports a fast break-in.
- Chamfered and slotted with multi-layer rubberized shims: designed for quiet, virtually noise-free braking.
- Powder-coated backing plate: resists rust and corrosion.
- Premium stainless-steel hardware included to make the brake job easier.
These ceramic pads are engineered for a smooth, consistent pedal feel and ultra-low dust compared to conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving. Best practice is to replace the pads on both sides of the front axle together for even, balanced braking — this set covers the front axle.
