This product line is tailored for drivers seeking performance-oriented brake pads with enhanced heat management, as evidenced by the slotted design and chamfered edges. The inclusion of pad shims further aids in reducing vibration and noise, making it suitable for the Volvo XC90's front braking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition, which is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The outer pad friction material thickness measures 17.6 mm, while the inner pad thickness is slightly thicker at 19.2 mm, ensuring even wear and consistent braking performance. The slotted design helps dissipate heat generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges are incorporated to minimize brake noise and improve pad bedding. Although pad wear sensors are not included, the set comes with pad shims to further reduce noise and vibration.\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 Volvo XC90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat dissipation to prevent brake fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances overall braking performance and pad longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-1003 brake pads on a Volvo XC90, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. Since these pads do not include wear sensors, verify the condition of existing sensors or replace if necessary. Proper bedding-in of the ceramic pads is recommended to achieve optimal performance and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop brake pads are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
