This product line uses ceramic friction material combined with design features such as slots and chamfered edges to enhance braking efficiency and driver comfort. The inclusion of mechanical pad wear sensors and shims supports maintenance and installation, making the 16-1397 part a well-rounded option for compatible Hyundai and Kia vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features and Technical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers a balance between effective stopping power and low dust generation. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.3 mm, ensuring durability and consistent performance over time. The slotted design helps dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by minimizing vibration and noise. Additionally, the included mechanical pad wear sensor provides a reliable alert system for timely brake maintenance. Pad shims are also included to facilitate installation and further reduce noise.\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 Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent brake fade during extended or aggressive braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides early warning of pad wear with mechanical sensor included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-1397 brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring.
