Power Stop is a U.S. aftermarket braking company based in Bedford Park, Illinois, founded in the mid-1990s. It specializes in complete brake upgrade kits — matched pads, drilled-and-slotted rotors, and hardware sold together — alongside standalone carbon-fiber ceramic pad sets.
The brand's pads are organized by use case: the Z23 Evolution Sport line targets daily drivers wanting low dust and a firmer bite; the Z26 line is a more aggressive street-performance compound; and the Z36 Truck & Tow line uses a carbon-fiber ceramic formulation rated for the higher heat and load of trucks, towing, and hauling. Power Stop markets its carbon-fiber ceramic compounds around low dust and quiet operation while retaining the thermal headroom its rotor kits are designed around.
