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.
