Giulia and Stelvio rear-pad fitment changes with model year and trim. This Z16 ceramic replacement serves the Alfa Romeo applications listed below, including specified Giulia trims from 2017-2024 and Stelvio trims from 2018-2021. Match the complete trim wording rather than relying on the model name alone.

Key features

  • Low-dust ceramic friction material: Formulated for daily-driver stock replacement.
  • Noise-control design: Dual-layer rubberized shims, chamfers and slots help reduce braking noise.
  • Pad construction: OE-style positive molding supports consistent wear and performance.
  • Surface preparation: Thermally scorched pad surfaces support faster initial break-in. Follow the applicable installation and bedding instructions.
  • Backing-plate finish: Powder coating helps resist rust and corrosion.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Parts and Accessories

Alfa Romeo Giulia Parts and Accessories

Find Alfa Romeo Giulia parts by generation, engine, drivetrain and installed equipment. Separate classic Giulia applications from the modern sedan before comparing brakes or accessories. For a modern car, identify the 2.0-liter turbo or Quadrifoglio V6 and rear-wheel drive or Q4 all-wheel drive as applicable. Classic Giulia and Modern Giulia Fitment The Giulia name reaches back to the classic sedan introduced in 1962. The modern Giulia is a separate vehicle application with different engines, chassis and electronic systems. A classic Giulia Sprint GT brake-hose listing should not be treated as a modern-sedan application. For modern cars, Alfa Romeo's specifications distinguish the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder from the Quadrifoglio's 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6. Confirm the exact year, market, drivetrain and package before choosing engine, chassis or electronic accessories.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Parts and Accessories

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Parts and Accessories

Find Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint parts by the exact vehicle generation and model designation. Separate the original type 101 Sprint coupe, the later Sprint GT family and the modern Giulia Sprint sedan trim before choosing a part. This distinction is especially useful when comparing classic brake hoses with modern Giulia brake pads. Which Giulia Sprint Do You Own? The original Giulia Sprint introduced in 1962 carried a 1.6-liter engine in a body derived from the earlier type 101 Giulietta. The Sprint GT coupe that followed belongs to a different model family. Sprint is also used as a trim name on the modern Giulia sedan, so the complete year and chassis identification matter more than the badge alone. For a classic car, confirm the actual body, engine and brake equipment. For a modern sedan, identify the engine, drivetrain and brake package. Do not extend the application of a part across these different vehicles simply because its title includes Giulia or Sprint. Classic Hoses and Moder...

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Parts and Accessories

Find Alfa Romeo Stelvio parts by model year, engine, drivetrain and brake equipment. Compare pads, rotors, wear sensors and service components using the complete manufacturer number. Separate the 2.0 turbo application from the 2.9 V6 Quadrifoglio and confirm any factory options or later conversions. Stelvio Engine and Equipment Differences Stelvio specifications vary by market and year. The 2.0 turbo four-cylinder and Quadrifoglio 2.9 twin-turbo V6 require distinct application checks. Confirm the exact engine, drivetrain and installed equipment rather than selecting from the Stelvio badge alone. Quadrifoglio brake options require particular attention. Identify the actual disc material and brake system before choosing replacement pads or rotors. A part designed for an iron-disc application should not be assumed suitable for carbon-ceramic equipment.
