About the Power Stop - Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line

The Power Stop - Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line focuses on providing ceramic brake pads that reduce brake dust buildup while maintaining strong braking performance. This product line is designed to offer a cleaner wheel appearance and quieter operation, making it suitable for performance-oriented applications on vehicles like the Dodge and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter series. Part number 16-1268 is a representative set within this line, engineered specifically for disc brake systems requiring electronic wear sensors and enhanced heat management.

Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a uniform 19.5 mm friction material thickness on both outer and inner pads, ensuring even wear and extended service life. The ceramic composition helps reduce brake dust and noise compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design improves heat dissipation and helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking. Chamfered edges further reduce noise and promote smooth engagement. Included pad shims help minimize vibration and brake squeal, while the electronic pad wear sensor provides an early warning system to maintain optimal braking safety.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Designed for Dodge eSprinter models
• Compatible with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD
• Ideal for vehicles requiring disc brake pad sets with electronic wear sensors
• Suitable for performance-oriented braking needs in commercial and passenger Sprinter vans

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1268 brake pads, ensure the electronic wear sensor is properly connected to the vehicle’s monitoring system. Verify that the slotted and chamfered edges are oriented correctly to optimize heat dissipation and reduce noise. It is recommended to inspect the rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace them if necessary to ensure even pad contact. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper hardware during installation.
