The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, which helps prevent brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges reduce noise and provide smoother pad-to-rotor contact. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.7 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. Included pad shims assist in reducing vibration and noise during braking. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on compatible Mercedes-Benz and Volvo models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduction of brake dust accumulation on wheels and surrounding components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved heat management to reduce brake fade during heavy braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimization of brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and included shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining consistent braking performance for daily driving and light performance use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure compatibility with your specific Mercedes-Benz or Volvo model before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace if necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean caliper and mounting hardware to ensure proper pad fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply brake lubricant to contact points and shims to reduce noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest brakes carefully after installation to confirm proper operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop manufactures these front Z16 low-dust ceramic brake pads to meet performance and durability standards suitable for the specified Mercedes-Benz and Volvo vehicles.
