Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective stopping power with reduced brake dust generation.

Chamfered edges and included pad shims contribute to quieter braking by minimizing noise and vibration. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.0 mm, ensuring a substantial amount of material for extended use before replacement is necessary.
