PowerStop 16-1508 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Power Stop Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Overview

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads (part number 16-1508) provide reliable braking performance for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Designed with ceramic friction material and advanced features, these pads offer a balance of stopping power and reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels.

• Ceramic friction material for consistent braking and low dust
• Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
• Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
• Includes pad shims for quieter operation
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 17.3 mm for extended pad life

Detailed Features of Power Stop Front Z16 Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that helps maintain stable braking performance while producing less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, which is critical during heavy braking to prevent fade and maintain consistent stopping power. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.3 mm, providing durability and longer service intervals. Included pad shims help reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment during installation.
