Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads utilize a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective braking with low dust output, helping to keep wheels cleaner. The slotted design aids in heat dissipation during heavy braking, which is particularly beneficial for the demanding conditions faced by Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Chamfered edges reduce noise and ensure smooth pad-to-rotor contact, while included pad shims help prevent vibration and squealing. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.9 mm, providing a substantial wear surface for longer service intervals.
