Designed specifically for the rear disc brakes of Cadillac CTS, SRX, and STS vehicles, these ceramic pads offer a balance of durability and low dust output.

• Compatible with Cadillac CTS, SRX, and STS rear disc brakes
• Performance-grade ceramic friction material for consistent stopping power
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 14.9 mm for extended pad life
• Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
• Slotted design and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad bedding
• Comes with pad shims to minimize vibration and brake noise

Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance while generating less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.9 mm, which supports longer service intervals. The pads include mechanical wear sensors that alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping to maintain optimal brake system function.

These pads are slotted to aid in heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during repeated stops. Chamfered edges help to minimize noise and ensure smooth engagement with the rotor. Additionally, pad shims are included to further reduce vibration and brake squeal, contributing to a quieter braking experience.
