Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides consistent braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 17.3 mm, ensuring long-lasting wear. The pads include mechanical wear sensors that alert drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.

These pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases during braking, which can improve stopping power and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by minimizing pad-to-rotor contact noise. Included pad shims help reduce vibration and ensure a secure fit within the brake caliper assembly.
