Power Stop Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Overview

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (Part Number 16-1322) provide reliable braking performance for select Audi models. Designed with ceramic friction material and advanced features, these pads offer consistent stopping power while minimizing brake dust.

• Ceramic friction material for quieter braking and reduced dust
• Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
• Chamfered edges to minimize noise and ensure smooth engagement
• Includes pad shims for vibration reduction and enhanced fit
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 17.1 mm for extended service life

Detailed Features and Benefits

These disc brake pads are engineered specifically for front axle applications on Audi vehicles including A4, A4 allroad, A4 Quattro, A5, A5 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, allroad, Q5, S4, and S5 models. The ceramic friction material composition provides stable friction performance under various driving conditions while generating less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade during repeated stops. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing pad edge chatter. Included pad shims further reduce noise and vibration for a smoother braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.1 mm, supporting longer pad life and consistent braking performance over time.
