Detailed Product Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered with ceramic friction material that provides stable braking performance while generating less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, which reduces the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges on the pads help reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.2 mm, ensuring durability and longer service intervals. Included pad shims further assist in noise reduction and proper pad alignment.
