Detailed Features of Power Stop Rear Z16 Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a 14.8 mm friction material thickness on both the outer and inner pads, ensuring long-lasting performance. The ceramic composition reduces brake dust buildup, helping to keep wheels cleaner compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to reduce noise and vibration, providing a smoother braking experience.

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a variety of rear brake applications on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cobalt and Solstice, Ford Focus, Escape, and Transit Connect, Jaguar XF, XJ, XJ8, XJR, XK, and XKR, Mazda 3 and 3 Sport, Pontiac G5, Saab 9-3 and 9-3X, Saturn Sky, and Volvo C30, C70, S40, V50, and Vanden Plas. The part number 16-1095 is specifically designed to meet the braking requirements of these models, ensuring proper fit and function.

Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads

• Excessive brake dust accumulation on wheels
• Brake noise and vibration during stopping
• Reduced braking performance due to heat buildup
• Premature pad wear from inadequate friction material thickness
• Inconsistent braking feel under performance driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1095 rear brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. The included pad shims should be installed to reduce noise and vibration. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify if your vehicle requires a sensor and install separately if needed. Proper bedding-in of the ceramic pads after installation is recommended to optimize braking performance and longevity.
