Detailed Features of Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are part of Power Stop's performance-grade product line, designed to deliver dependable braking performance with low dust output. The ceramic friction material composition helps maintain cleaner wheels by producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads feature a friction material thickness of 16.9 mm, providing a substantial amount of material for longer wear intervals.

These pads include mechanical pad wear sensors, which alert drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping to maintain safe braking conditions. The slotted design improves heat dissipation and reduces brake fade during repeated stops, while chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration. Included pad shims further reduce noise and ensure a secure fit within the brake caliper assembly.
