PowerStop 16-1288 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Power Stop Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Overview

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (Part Number 16-1288) provide a reliable braking solution designed specifically for select INFINITI and Nissan models. These ceramic disc brake pads offer a balance of performance and reduced brake dust, making them suitable for drivers seeking consistent stopping power with cleaner wheels.

• Ceramic friction material for quieter braking and low dust
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 13.1 mm for extended pad life
• Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
• Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
• Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
• Pad shims included to reduce squeal and enhance fitment

Detailed Features of Power Stop Rear Z16 Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that reduces brake dust buildup compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 13.1 mm, providing durability and consistent braking performance over time. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions.

These pads come equipped with mechanical pad wear sensors, allowing drivers to monitor pad wear and schedule replacements before performance is compromised. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to minimize noise and vibration, ensuring a smoother and quieter braking experience. This disc brake pad set is designed for rear axle installation and is compatible with a range of INFINITI and Nissan vehicles.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This brake pad set is compatible with the following makes and models:

• INFINITI 370Z, EX35, FX35, G35, M35, M45, Q60
• Nissan Altima, Juke, Rogue, Rogue Select, Sentra

These pads are intended for drivers who require reliable rear disc brake pads that maintain performance while reducing brake dust and noise.

Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads

• Excessive brake dust accumulation on wheels
• Brake noise and vibration during stopping
• Premature pad wear and reduced braking efficiency
• Brake fade caused by heat buildup
• Lack of timely wear indication without sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1288 rear brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. The included pad shims should be installed to reduce noise and ensure proper pad seating. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace them if necessary to optimize braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bolts and perform a brake system test after installation.
