Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.4 mm, ensuring a substantial lifespan. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat efficiently, which reduces the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges are incorporated to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Additionally, pad shims are included to further minimize operational noise. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor, so monitoring pad thickness during maintenance is recommended.
