Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 14.4 mm, ensuring durability and extended pad life. The slotted design improves heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges on the pads reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. Additionally, the included pad shims assist in installation and further minimize noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is part of the Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line, which focuses on delivering performance-oriented ceramic brake pads with reduced dust output.
