Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (16-1385) utilize a ceramic friction material composition that helps reduce brake dust buildup, keeping wheels cleaner compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads feature a friction material thickness of 15.7 mm, ensuring long service life and consistent braking performance. The pads are slotted to aid in heat dissipation and gas release, which helps maintain stable friction under various driving conditions. Chamfered edges reduce noise and prevent edge lifting, contributing to a quieter braking experience.

Included mechanical pad wear sensors provide a reliable indication of pad life, allowing timely replacement before performance degradation occurs. Pad shims are also included to reduce vibration and brake squeal, improving overall driving comfort. These performance-grade pads are designed to meet the braking demands of the Kia Borrego, providing dependable stopping power without excessive dust or noise.
