Product Details

Power Stop 16-1872 is part of the Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pad family, a rear brake solution for drivers seeking an affordable stock replacement with predictable pedal feel. The ceramic friction material is paired with a thermal scorched pad surface to support a faster bedding-in process, while OE positive mold construction helps promote even wear across the pad face.

What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and brake wear sensor requirements before installation.

Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and brake fluid condition during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation.
