Product Line Details: Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are part of Power Stop's performance-oriented product line focused on delivering reliable stopping power with minimal brake dust. The ceramic friction material composition is engineered to provide consistent braking performance while reducing rotor wear and brake dust accumulation, making it suitable for drivers seeking a cleaner braking solution on their Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Technical Description and Features

These rear disc brake pads feature a 16.3 mm friction material thickness on both the outer and inner pads, ensuring a substantial lifespan and consistent braking force. The ceramic composition offers stable friction characteristics under various driving conditions, contributing to smooth and quiet braking. The slotted design helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges minimize noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort. Included pad shims assist in proper installation and help reduce brake noise, although these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear brake pads on compatible Mercedes-Benz models
• Reduces brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Improves braking performance and heat management during daily driving
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration with chamfered edges and shims
• Addresses rotor wear concerns with ceramic friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1341 rear disc brake pads, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the rear brake calipers are properly supported. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor surface before installation to promote even pad wear. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, verify the existing sensor condition or replace if necessary. Properly install the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure a secure fit. After installation, perform a brake bedding procedure as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer to optimize pad performance.
