This product line uses ceramic friction material combined with slotted and chamfered pad designs to enhance braking efficiency while maintaining cleaner wheels. The 16-1258 brake pad set is part of this line, engineered specifically for front disc brake applications on compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features and Technical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc 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 16.8 mm, ensuring durability and extended service life. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which can reduce brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by minimizing pad-to-rotor noise. Included pad shims assist in installation and help reduce vibration and noise during braking. Note that this set does not include a pad wear sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Edge (front disc brake application)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLincoln MKX (front disc brake application)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMazda CX-5, CX-7, CX-9 (front disc brake application)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade during extended or performance driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise and vibration from brake pad contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear due to poor heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking performance from worn or low-quality pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-1258 brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. Since these pads do not include wear sensors, verify sensor compatibility if your vehicle requires them. Proper bedding-in of the pads after installation is recommended to optimize braking performance and pad life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop manufactures these brake pads to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
