Power Stop Z26 Street Kit w/Calipers for Buick LeSabre (1977-1978)

Are you looking to boost the braking performance of your classic Buick LeSabre? The Power Stop Z26 Street Kit w/Calipers is designed specifically for high-performance muscle cars like yours. This kit has everything you need to enhance your ride's stopping power, making it an ideal choice for modified vehicles or those with high horsepower.

Why Choose the Power Stop Z26 Street Kit?

This comprehensive brake upgrade kit includes:

  • Z26 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Tailored for muscle cars and high-performance vehicles, these pads offer excellent stopping power while minimizing dust and noise.
  • Premium Stainless Steel Shims: Designed for better heat dissipation, these shims ensure virtually noise-free braking.

Performance Benefits

The combination of drilled and slotted rotors with carbon-fiber ceramic pads allows for shorter stopping distances even under demanding conditions. Plus, with a low dust and noise formula, you can spend less time cleaning your wheels and more time enjoying the drive.

Break-In Procedure

To ensure optimal performance, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph without letting the brakes cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process.
  • Continue with 5 more moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again without letting the brakes cool. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • After the initial stops, drive for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without excessive braking to allow the brakes to cool down.
  • Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use the brakes normally. Never cool them with water, as this can cause damage.

Fitment

  • Compatible with Buick LeSabre 1977-1978
