Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are part of Power Stop's performance-grade product line, focusing on delivering dependable braking with reduced brake dust. The ceramic friction material composition provides stable friction characteristics and helps maintain cleaner wheels compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.3 mm, supporting extended service life. The included mechanical pad wear sensors alert drivers when replacement is needed, helping maintain optimal brake system performance.

The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which can reduce the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by reducing vibration and noise. Additionally, the included pad shims help ensure a secure fit and further minimize brake noise.
