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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is part of the Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line, which focuses on delivering performance-grade ceramic brake pads designed for cleaner braking with less dust accumulation. This line is tailored for drivers seeking a balance between effective stopping power and reduced wheel contamination, making it suitable for daily driving and moderate performance needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese brake pads are compatible with various Ford and Lincoln models, including the Ford Explorer, Flex, Ranger, Taurus, and the Lincoln MKS and MKT.
