The ceramic friction material composition provides stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads feature a friction material thickness of 16.1 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The included mechanical pad wear sensor helps monitor pad condition, alerting drivers when replacement is necessary. Additionally, the slotted design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during repeated stops. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to reduce noise and vibration, ensuring a quieter braking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement rear brake pads for Cadillac ATS and CTS models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent brake fade under performance or frequent stop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration for improved driving comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides reliable pad wear monitoring with included mechanical sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with rear disc brake systems on Cadillac ATS and CTS vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck rotor condition and resurface or replace if necessary for optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure proper pad fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop brake pads are manufactured to meet strict quality standards for performance and durability.
