PRODUCT DETAILS
PowerStop Z23 Honda Civic Brake Pads Si Front
10th-gen Civic Si front pads wear on the street like any daily. PowerStop Z23-1697 is the Z23 Evolution Sport carbon-fiber ceramic front set for 2017-2020 Civic Si. Front only. It is not a Type R pad and it is not a non-Si Civic pad.
What It Is and Why It Works
PowerStop builds Z23 as a street-sport step above Z17. Catalogs call out a carbon-fiber ceramic formula, low dust, rubberized shims, stainless-steel hardware, and ceramic lubricant in the box. Z23 is still a daily pad, not a track compound. The Z17 sibling is 17-1697. The Z16 pad-only sibling is 16-1697. Civic Type R uses Z23-1001B.
This is a pad set, not a rotor kit. Hardware is included.

What to Know Before You Buy
Look at the caliper before you order. Civic Si uses a different front package than LX/EX/Sport and a different package than Type R. If the car is a 2017-2020 Si, this is the Z23 front set.
Z23 is a street-sport ceramic pad. Bed the pads in. Replace the hardware that comes in the box. If the rotors are grooved or below spec, replace those too. This SKU is pads only.
