PowerStop 16-008 uses the Z16 Evolution ceramic pad formula for the classic Chevrolet applications below. Choose it by the exact brake configuration: 1963–1966 Corvette applications require four-wheel disc brakes, and the 1969 Camaro application is specifically Z28 with rear disc brakes. This is not a universal pad set.

Application and axle position

PowerStop lists this part for either the front or rear axle on these configurations. “Front or rear” describes where the part fits; it does not mean a complete two-axle brake kit.

Years Vehicle Required configuration Position
1963–1966 Chevrolet Corvette Models with 4 wheel disc brakes Front or rear
1967–1982 Chevrolet Corvette No additional submodel note listed by PowerStop Front or rear
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Rear Disc Brakes Front or rear

Confirm the factory or converted brake system before ordering. These catalog applications do not establish fitment for an aftermarket caliper conversion.

Z16 construction

  • Ceramic friction formula for everyday replacement braking, not the carbon-fiber ceramic formula used in the Z23 and Z26 ranges.
  • Thermally scorched friction surfaces and OE-style positive molding.
  • Dual-layer, high-temperature rubberized shims help control braking noise.
  • Powder-coated backing plates help resist corrosion.

Part details

  • Manufacturer: PowerStop
  • Manufacturer part number: 16-008
  • Product range: Z16 Evolution
  • Component: ceramic disc brake pad set

This listing is for the pad set, not rotors or calipers. Do not assume a separate hardware kit is included: PowerStop distinguishes Z17 pads by their added application-specific hardware.

Installation and break-in

Use the correct vehicle service procedure and the PowerStop instructions supplied with the pads. Thermal scorching does not replace the required installation checks or applicable break-in procedure. Professional installation is recommended.

Choose PowerStop brakes by the job the vehicle does and the brake system it already has. This collection includes replacement pads, rotors, matched brake kits, calipers and service components.
