Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective stopping power with reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.2 mm, ensuring durability and longer wear intervals. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which contributes to consistent performance and reduced brake fade. Chamfered edges further reduce noise and help the pads seat properly against the rotor. This set includes mechanical pad wear sensors, providing a reliable indication when pad replacement is necessary. Additionally, pad shims are included to reduce vibration and noise, improving overall braking comfort.
