This product line focuses on ceramic friction material that minimizes brake dust, helping to keep wheels cleaner compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The inclusion of mechanical pad wear sensors and slotted, chamfered pads enhances both safety and comfort during braking. These pads are designed specifically for rear disc brake applications on compatible Mazda and Mitsubishi vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese brake pads feature a 14.0 mm thick ceramic friction material on both the inner and outer pads, providing consistent wear and reliable stopping power. The slotted design helps to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter braking by minimizing vibration and noise. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when pad replacement is necessary, ensuring timely maintenance. Pad shims are also provided to further reduce noise and improve overall braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Mazda 3, 3 Sport, 6 and Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander Sport, RVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking consistency and heat management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides reliable pad wear indication with included sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-1679 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate pad wear monitoring.
