Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 14.0 mm, ensuring a longer service life. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to smoother engagement and help reduce noise and vibration. Included pad shims assist in proper installation and further noise suppression. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Porsche Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and Volkswagen Touareg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking performance and heat management during spirited driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and included shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake fade issues caused by excessive heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-1349 brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris.
