PowerStop Z26 Drilled & Slotted Brake Kit | 2018-2023 Crosstrek

If your Crosstrek feels a little weak under hard braking, carries extra weight, or sees mountain driving, the PowerStop Z26 kit is a legit upgrade over stock. It pairs PowerStop’s Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic pads with drilled and slotted rotors designed to stay cooler, bite harder, and hold consistent performance when the factory setup starts to fade.

The drilled holes help with heat management during repeated stops, while the slots clear away dust and gas so the pad stays in full contact with the rotor. The result: a firmer pedal, better stopping power, and way less fade on long downhill runs or when your Crosstrek is fully loaded.

Even with the added performance, the Z26 pads stay low-dust and quiet - perfect for a daily-driven Subaru that still gets used for weekend off road trips. 

Why this setup works great on a Crosstrek

• Direct-fit rotors and pads for Crosstrek applications

• Z26 carbon-fiber ceramic pads offer stronger bite + improved fade resistance

• Drilled & slotted rotors run cooler and maintain consistent braking

• Low dust + low noise compared to other performance pads

• Great upgrade for lifted rigs, extra cargo weight, and mountain driving

• Bolt-on install - no modifications needed

If you want your Crosstrek to feel more confident when you hit the brakes, especially with bigger tires, added weight, or tougher driving - the Z26 kit is one of the best performance/price upgrades out there.
