Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 13.9 mm, ensuring a substantial lifespan. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation and smoother engagement. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain safe braking conditions. Additionally, pad shims are supplied to reduce noise and vibration during braking.\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 low dust output.
